Unto us is born a son
King of choirs supernal
See on earth his life begun
Of lords the lord eternal

Christ, from heav'n descending low
Comes on earth a stranger
Ox and ass their owner know
Now cradled in a manger

This did herod sore affray
And did him bewilder
So he gave the word to slay
And slew the little childer

Of his love and mercy mild
Hear the Christmas story
O that mary's gentle child
Might lead us up to glory!

O and a and a and o
Cantemus in choro
Voice and organ, sing we so
Benedicamus domino
