As I came by the way, I saw a sight seemly to see, The shepherds ranging in array, Upon the fold keeping their fee. A star they said they did espy Casting the beams out of the East, And angels making melody: "Veritas de terra orta est." 2. Upon that sight they were aghast, Saying these words as I say thee: "To Bethlehem shortly let us haste And there we shall the truth see." The angel said unto them all three To their comfort, ere ever he ceased: "Consolamini, and merry be; Veritas de terra orta est. 3. From heaven, out of the highest see, Righteousness hath taken the way, With mercy meddled plenteously, And so conceived in a may; Miranda res, this is, in fay, So sayeth the prophet in his gest. Now is He born, Scripture doth say; Veritas de terra orta est. 4. Then passed the shepherds from that place And followed by the star's beam, That was so bright afore their face, It brought them straight unto Bethlehem; So bright it shone over all the realm Till they came there they would not rest, To Jewry and Jerusalem; Veritas de terra orta est.
