I Shall You Tell A Great Marvel Lyrics

What, heard ye not, the King of Jerusalem
Is now born in Bethlehem?

1. I shall you tell a great marvel,
How an angel, for our avail,
Came to a maid, and said: "All hail!"
What, heard ye not, the King of Jerusalem
Is now born in Bethlehem?

2. "All hail," he said, "and full of grace,
God is with thee now in this place,
A child thou shalt bear in little space."
What, heard ye not, the King of Jerusalem
Is now born in Bethlehem?

3. "A child!" she said. "How may that be?
There had never no man knowledge of me."
"The Holy Ghost," he said, "shall light in thee."
What, heard ye not, the King of Jerusalem
Is now born in Bethlehem?

4. "And as thou art, so shalt thou be,"
The angel said, "in virginity,
Before and after in every degree."
What, heard ye not, the King of Jerusalem
Is now born in Bethlehem?

5. The maid answered the angel again:
"If God will that this be sayn,
The wordes be to me full fain."
What, heard ye not, the King of Jerusalem
Is now born in Bethlehem?

6. Now will we all, in rejoicing
That we have heard this good tiding,
To that Child Te Deum sing:
What, heard ye not, the King of Jerusalem
Is now born in Bethlehem?
