There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu;
Alleluia.
For in this rose contained it was
Heaven and earth in little space;
Alleluia..
There is no rose...
By that rose we may well see
That he is God in persons three,
Alleluia.
There is no rose...
The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis deo:
Alleluia.
There is no rose...
Leave we all this worldly mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth;
Alleluia.
There is no rose...
Alleluia, res miranda,
Pares forma, gaudeamus,
Alleluia.
