earsO peersdoth greet.
You gentle flockswhose fleecespearled with dew
Resemble heavenwhom golden drops make bright
ListenO listennowO not to you
Our pipes make sport to shorten weary night;
But voices most divine
Make blissful harmony:
Voices that seem to shine
For what else clears the sky?
Tunes can we hearbut not the singers see
The tunes divineand so the singers be.
Lohow the firmament
Within an azure fold
The flock of stars hath pent
That we might them behold;
Yet from their beams proceedeth not this light
Nor can their crystals such reflection give.
What then doth make the element so bright?
The heavens are come down upon earth to live.
But hearken to the song
Glory to glory's king
And peace all men among
These quiristers do sing.
Angels they areas also (Shepherds) he
Whom in our fear we do admire to see.
Let not amazement blind
Your soulssaid heannoy:
To you and all mankind
My message bringeth joy.
For lothe world's great Shepherd now is born
A blessed babean infant full of power:
After long night uprisen is the morn
Renowning Bethl'em in the Saviour.
Sprung is the perfect day
By prophets seen afar:
Sprung is the mirthful May
Which winter cannot mar [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
