Text: Nowell, Sing We Both All and Some

arr. David P. Babbitt (1947–2006)

Noel sing we both all and some,
Now Rex pacificus is ycome.
(The King of Peace is come)

Exortum est in love and lyss,
(It is risen up with love and comfort)
Now Christ His gree He gan us gyss,
(Now Christ, in His favor He began to clothe us)
And with His body us bought to bliss,
Both all and some.

Noel sing we...

De fructus ventris of Mary bright,
(The fruit of Mary’s womb)
Both God and man in her a light,
Out of disease He did us dight,
(Out of misery He prepared us)
Both all and some.

Noel sing we...

Puer natus to us was sent,
(A boy, born, was sent to us)
To bliss us bought, fro bale us blent,
(from sorrow has turned us aside)
And else to woe we had ywent,
Both all and some.

Noel sing we...

Lux fulgebit with love and light,
(The light will shine with love)
In Mary mild His pennon pight,
(In Mary mild His flag is pitched)
In her took kind with manly might,
Both all and some.

Noel sing we...

Gloria tibi, ay and bliss,
(Glory to thee, yes, and bliss)
God unto His grace He us wysse,
God unto His grace He does us guide)
The rent of heaven that we not miss,
Both all and some.

Noel sing we...
