There is no rose of such virtue 

As is the rose that bare Jesu; 

Alleluia. 



For in this rose contained was 

Heaven and earth in little space; 

Res miranda. 



By that rose we may well see 

That he is God in persons three, 

Pari forma. 



The angels sungen the shepherds to: 

Gloria in excelsis deo: 

Gaudeamus. 



Leave we all this worldly mirth, 

And follow we this joyful birth; 

Transeamus. 



Alleluia, res miranda, 

Pares forma, gaudeamus, 

Transeamus.
