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.
