The blessed Son of God only In a crib full poor did lie; With our poor flesh and our poor blood Was clothed that everlasting good. Kyrie eleison. (Lord have mercy)
The Lord Christ Jesu, God's son dear, Was a guest and a stranger here; Us for to bring from misery. That we might live eternally. Kyrie eleison. (Lord have mercy)
All this did he for us freely, For to declare his great mercy; All Christendom be merry therefore, And give him thanks for evermore. Kyrie eleison. (Lord have mercy)
