William Walton - Make We Joy Now in This Fest
In quo Christus natus est
Eya, eya
A Patre Unigenitus
Is through a maiden come to us:
Sing we of Him and say
'Welcome' Veni, Redemptor gencium
Agnoscat omne seculum
A bright star made three kings to come
Him for to seek with their presen's
Verbum supertum prodiens
A solis ortus cardine
So mighty a Lord is none as He:
And to our kind He hath Him knit
Adam parens quod polluit
Maria ventre concepit
The Holy Ghost was aye her with
Of her in Bethlem born He is
Consors paterni luminis
O Lux bеata Trinitas
He lay between an ox and ass
Besidе His mother maiden free
Gloria Tibi Domine
