1. Come, listen to my story, | |||
''Christus natus hodie:'' | |||
Born is the King of glory; | |||
''Rex de Virgine.'' | |||
Nowell, Nowell, good news I tell, | |||
God comes on earth a stranger | |||
''Eya! Emanuel'' | |||
Lies cradled in a manger. | |||
2. Came angels down, a number, | |||
On the midnight of His brith: | |||
"Ye shepherds, wake from slumber: | |||
Peace, good-will on earth, | |||
And bliss on high," the Angels cry, | |||
"To you is born and given, | |||
''Eya!'' of maid Marie, | |||
Th'Almighty Lord of heaven. | |||
3. Then rode three kings together, | |||
Over desert, hill, and date; | |||
Nought caring from the weather, | |||
Sleet, and snow, and hail. | |||
They came from far, led by a star, | |||
With beams that never vary: | |||
''Eya!'' full fain they are | |||
To see the Babe of Mary. | |||
4. Away then banish sorrow; | |||
Nato Regi psallite: | |||
Sith Christ is born this morrow, | |||
''Benedicite.'' | |||
With Angels eke and shepherds meek, | |||
And with yon Eastern Sages, | |||
''Eya!'' let us go seek | |||
The newborn King of ages. | |||
