Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; "NATIVITY, THE;"

AN @3heavenly song, I dare well say,
Is sung on earth to man this day.@1

This is the song that ye shall hear,
God is come from His empire,
And is made man with high desire,
@3This day.@1

He took our kind all of a maid,
By ox and ass He was ylaid.
Now is fulfilled that Scripture said,
@3This day.@1

Ay I wonder this in my mind,
That He that all may loose and bind,
Would be laid by beasts unkind,
@3This day.@1

He is a lord and by nature
A maiden's breast He sucked full pure.
Heaven and earth be in His cure,
@3This day.@1
