Jesu, thou the Virgin-born

Jesu, of a Maiden Thou wast born

To save mankind that was forlorn

All for our sins.

Jesu, fili Virgine, miserere nobis.

Within a cradle He was laid

Both ox and ass with Him played

With joy and bliss.

Then for us He shed His blood,

And also died He on the rood,

All for our sins.

And then to hell He took the way

To ransom them that there did lay,

With joy and bliss.
