And in this rose contain-ed was
All of Heaven and Earth to come

Birthed the Whole of All Sublime

Then sang the Angels to the fold
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Come and see your Holy Babe

A Rose of Loving Virtue Blessed
Rose that fed our Lord at Breast
Was in the manger where they said

And follow now this joyful birth;
For we are born anew as well
Transeamus
