Tis our right and bounden duty, Gentles all, to sing for mirth O'er a Babe, the King of beauty, And recount his triple birth. 2. First we hail the birth eternal Of the Word of God, the Son; Gotten of the Sire supernal, Ere the world or time begun. 3. Secondly, good sirs, remember Mary's childing in a stall; Jesu's birth-day in December, To repair our shameful fall. 4.. Thirdly, ye, with high endeavour, Whoso choose the better part, Yesterday, to-day, for ever, Christ is born within your heart. 5. Once the Lord, of his compassion, Veil'd his majesty of awe; And was found in human fashion, As a Babe, in hay and straw. 6. O the love, surpassing wonder! Still the Eternal and Divine, Hides his Body daily under Homely forms of bread and wine. 7. Christ-Child, low we bow before thee, Lord and God Omnipotent; Truly present, we adore Thee In the Holy Sacrament. 8. Thee we praise, O Christ, together With the Sire and Spirit blest, By the upper world, and nether, Triune Deity confest. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
