In Bethlehem, In That Fair City Lyrics

To bliss God bring us all and some,
Christe, Redemptor omnium

1. In Bethlehem, in that fair city,
A Child was born of our Lady,
Lord and prince that He should be,
A solis ortus cardine

2. Children were slain (full) great plenty,
Jesus, for the love of Thee;
Let us never damned be,
Hostis Herodes impie.

3. He was born of our Lady,
Without stain of her body,
Godes Son that sitteth on high,
Jesu Salvator seculi.

4. As the sun shineth thorough the glass,
So Jesus in her body was;
To serve Him He gave us grace.
O lux beata trinitas!

5. Now is born our Lord Jesus,
That made merry all (of) us;
Be all merry in this house,
Exultet celum laudibus!
