A Babe is born all of a May
In the salvation of us
To Him we sing both night and day
Veni creator spiritus
At Bethlehem that blessed place
The child of bliss was born
Him to serve God give us grace
O lux beata trinitas
The angel came down with a cry
A fair song then sung he
In the worship of that child
Gloria tibi Domine
There came three kings out of the East
To worship the King so high
With gold and myrrh and frankincense
A solis ortus cardine
The shepherds heard an angel cry
A merry song sung he
Why are ye so sore aghast
Jam ortus solis cardine
