Christ, hath Christ’s Mother
Dicamus ! canamus !
Borne, our dear Brother,
Canamus ! dicamus !
In the stalls of Bethlehem.
Then leave we all Jerusalem,
To kiss the King of Bethlehem :
Cui vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
Come from the City !
Dicamus ! canamus !
God hath had pity
Canamus ! dicamus !
On His people Israel.
And pity will He have, as well,
On Gentiles beyond Israel :
Nunc vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
Snows the land cover :
Dicamus ! canamus !
Lo ! comes our Lover ;
Canamus ! dicamus !
Comes a glory, comes a light :
Gold on snow, and gold on night ;
Glory from the Light of Light !
Quin vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
Laud in the Highest !
Dicamus ! canamus !
Now, Death ! thou diest :
Canamus ! dicamus !
Now God goeth to His grave,
Us dead, and dying, men to save ;
And bring the captives from the grave.
Quo vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
Praise to the Father !
Dicamus ! canamus !
Now will He gather
Canamus ! dicamus !
Us, His helpless little ones,
From endless Death’s dominions ;
Us, God our Father’s little ones :
Cui vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
Praise to Son Jesus !
Dicamus ! canamus !
Him, Whose Cross frees us,
Canamus ! dicamus !
From the cruel hand of sin.
Now first to Him our songs begin,
Since now our hearts have done with sin.
Sic vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
Praise Mary Mother !
Dicamus ! canamus !
Mary, none other,
Canamus ! dicamus !
Welcome might the Holy Ghost :
Because her heart was pure the most.
Now praise be to the Holy Ghost !
Cui vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
Praise, praise, and praises,
Dicamus ! canamus !
Earth with Heaven raises,
Canamus ! dicamus !
To the glorious Trinity.
Sons of new morning, mingle we,
With morning stars, our melody :
Et vocibus gaudentibus
Dicamus : canamus :
Gloriam !
