Original lyrics
ENUnto 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
