In Bethlehem that noble place
As by prophecy said it was,
Of Virgin Mary full of grace,
Salvator mundi natus est.
Be we merry in this feast
In quo Salvator natus est.
On Christmas night an angel told
To shepherds watching o'er their fold
"In Bethlehem with beasties wolde
Salvator mundi natus est.
Be we merry in this feast
In quo Slvator natus est.
"Behold you we bring great joy
For why? Jesus is born to day,
To us of Mary that holy May.
Salvator mundi natus est.
Be we merry in this feast,
In quo Salvator natus est."
Then compassed were the shepherds quite,
Around them shone a great light
"Dread ye not," said the angels bright,
Salvator mundi natus est.
Be we merry in this feast,
In quo Salvator natus est.
"And thus in faith find him ye shall,
Lying poorly in oxen stall."
The shepherds lauded God all Quia
Salvitor mundi natus est.
Be we merry in this feast,
In quo Salvitor natus.
