English text
- 1.
- Jesu of a maiden Thou wast born,
- To save mankind that was forlorn,
- All for our sins.
- Jesu fili virgine, misere nobis.
- 2.
- Within a cradle He was laid;
- Both ox and ass with Him played
- With joy and bliss.
- Jesu fili virgine misere nobis
- 3.
- Then for us He shed his blood,
- And also died He on the rood,
- All for our sins.
- Jesu fili virgine, misere nobis.
- 5.
- And then to hell He took the way,
- To ransome them that there did lay,
- With joy and bliss.
- Jesu fili virgine, misere nobis.
