Christ, Hath Christ's Mother Lyrics

1. Christ, hath Christ's Mother
Bourne, our dear Brother,
In the stalls of Bethlehem.
Then leave we all Jerusalem,
To kiss the King of Bethlehem!

Cui vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus: cantamus:
Gloriam!

2. Come from the city!
God hath had pity
On His people Israel,
And pity will He have, as well
On Gentiles beyond Israel!

Nunc vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus: cantamus:
Gloriam!

3. Shows the land cover;
Lo comes our Lover:
Comes a glory, comes a light:
Gold on snow, and gold on night;
Glory from the Light of Light!

Quin vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus: cantamus:
Gloriam!

4. Laud in the highest!
Now Death! thou diest:
Now God goeth to His grave,
Us, dead and dying men to save,
And bring the captives from the grave.

Quo vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus: cantamus:
Gloriam!

5. Praise to the Father!
Now he will gather
Us, his helpless little ones,
From endless Death's dominions:
Us, God our Father's little ones:

Cui vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus: cantamus:
Gloriam!

6. Praise to Son Jesus!
Him, whose Cross frees us,
From the cruel hand of sin.
Now first to him our songs begin,
Since now our hearts have done with sin:

Sic vocibus gaudentibus
Dicanus : cantamus :
Gloriam!

7. Praise Mary Mother -
Mary, none other,
Welcome might the Holy Ghost:
Because her heart was pure the most.
Now praise be to the Holy Ghost!

Cui vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus: cantamus:
Gloriam!

8. Praise, praise, and praises,
Earth with Heaven raises,
To the glorious Trinity.
Sons of new morning, mingle we,
With morning stars, our melody:

Et vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : cantamus:
Gloriam!
