<p><em>Rorate coeli desuper!</em><br>
|
|
Heavens, distil your balmy showers;<br>
|
|
For now is risen the bright Daystar,<br>
|
|
From the rose Mary, flower of flowers:<br>
|
|
The clear Sun, whom no cloud devours,<br>
|
|
Surmounting Phoebus in the east,<br>
|
|
Is comen of His heav’nly towers,<br>
|
|
<em>Et nobis puer natus est.</em>
|
|
<p>Sinners be glad, and penance do,<br>
|
|
And thank your Maker heartfully;<br>
|
|
For He that ye might not come to,<br>
|
|
To you is comen, fully humbly,<br>
|
|
Your soulès with His blood to buy,<br>
|
|
And loose you of the fiend’s arrest,<br>
|
|
And only of His own mercy;<br>
|
|
<em>Pro nobis puer natus est.</em></p>
|
|
<p>Celestial fowlès in the air,<br>
|
|
Sing with your notès upon the height,<br>
|
|
In firthès and in forests fair<br>
|
|
Be mirthful now at all your might;<br>
|
|
For passèd is your dully night;<br>
|
|
Aurora has the cloudès pierced,<br>
|
|
The sun is risen with gladsome light,<br>
|
|
<em>Et nobis puer natus est.</em></p>
|
|
<p>Sing, heaven imperial, most of height,<br>
|
|
Regions of air make harmony,<br>
|
|
All fish in flood and fowl of flight,<br>
|
|
Be mirthful and make melody;<br>
|
|
All <em>Gloria in excelsis</em> cry,<br>
|
|
Heaven, earth, sea, man, bird and beast;<br>
|
|
He that is crowned above the sky<br>
|
|
<em>Pro nobis puer natus est.</em></p>
