This Day Lyrics

An heavenly 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,
This day.

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

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

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