There is no rose
 (Sung text for setting by B. Britten)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
Our translations:  FRE
There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu:
Alleluya.

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 person three:
Pari forma.

The angels sung the shepherds to:
"Gloria in excelsis Deo",
Gaudeamus.

Leave we all this worldly mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth:
Transeamus.

Composition:

    Set to music by (Edward) Benjamin Britten (1913 - 1976), "There is no rose", op. 28 no. 3 (1942) [ treble chorus, solo voices, and harp ], from A Ceremony of Carols, no. 3
