Puer Nobis Natus Est

Puer nobis natus est

De virgine Maria.

Be glad, lordinges, bethe more and lesse,

I bring you tidinges of gladnesse,

As Gabriel me bereth wetnesse

Dicam vobis quia.

I bring you tidinges that ben gode.

Mary hath borne a blissful fode

That boght us all upon the rode

Sua morte pia.

For the trespas of Adam,

Fro the fader of heven he cam.

Hereto mirthe us bigan

Teste prophecia.

Mary, modur and leve virgin,

That bare a child withouten sin,

Kepe us all fro helle pin!

De virgine Maria.
