Out Of Your Sleep Arise Lyrics

Burden:
Nowel, Nowel, Nowel
Nowel, Nowel, Nowel

1. Out of your sleep arise and wake,
For God mankind now hath ytake [taken]
All of a maid without any make [equal];
Of all women she beareth the bell. Burden

2. And through a maiden fair and wise,
Now man is made of full great price;
Now angels kneel to man's service,
And at this time all this befell. Burden

3. Now man is brighter than the sun;
Now man in heaven on high shall wone [dwell];
Blessed be God, this game is begun
And His mother Empress of Hell. Burden

4. Who'er was thrall, now is he free;
Whoe'er was small, now great is she;
Now shall God judge both thee and me
Unto His bliss if we do well. Burden

5. Now man may (un)-to heaven wend;
Now heaven and earth to Him they bend;
He that was foe now is our friend;
This is no nay that I you tell. Burden

6. Now blessed Brother grant us grace
At dooms day to see Thy face,
And in Thy court to have a place,
That we may there sing Nowel. Burden
