as is the rose that bare Jesu.
There is no rose of such virtue,
as is the rose that bare Jesu.
Alleluia.
There is no rose of such virtue,
as is the rose that bare Jesu.
For in this rose contained
was heaven and earth in little space.
Resmiranda.
(Wondrous thing)
There is no rose of such virtue,
as is the rose that bare Jesu.
For by that rose we may well see
that he is God in persons three.
Pariforma.
(One in form)
There is no rose of such virtue,
as is the rose that bare Jesu.
The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

(Let us rejoice)
There is no rose of such virtue,
as is the rose that bare Jesu.
Leave all this worldly mirth
and follow we this joyful birth.

(Let us cross over)
There is no rose of such virtue,
as is the rose that bare Jesu.
