A Virgin Most Pure 歌词

A Virgin Most Pure - Choirs of Bath/Winchester Cathedral

Written by:Traditional

A virgin most pure as the prophets do tell

Hath brought forth a baby as it hath befell

To be our redeemer from death hell and sin

Which Adam's transgression has wrapped us in

Aye and therefore be you merry

Rejoice and be merry

Set sorrows aside

Christ Jesus our saviour

Was born on this tide

 

At Bethlehem city in Jewry a city there was

Where Joseph and Mary together did pass

And there to be taxed with many one more

For casar commanded the same should be so

Aye and therefore be you merry

Rejoice and be merry

Set sorrows aside

Christ Jesus our saviour

Was born on this tide

 

But when they had entered the city so fair

A number of people so mighty was there

That Joseph and Mary whose substance was small

Could get in the city no lodging at all

Aye and therefore be you merry

Rejoice and be merry

Set sorrows aside

Christ Jesus our saviour

Was born on this tide

 

Then were they constrained in a stable to lie

Where oxen and asses they used to tie

Their lodging so simple they held it no scorn

But against the next morning our savior was born

Aye and therefore be you merry

Rejoice and be merry

Set sorrows aside

Christ Jesus our saviour

 

Was born on this tide
