Nigel Short and Tenebrae - A Ceremony of Carols, Op. 28: III. There is no rose

There is no rose of such vertu
As is the rose that bare Jesu
Alleluia, alleluia
For in this rose conteinèd
Was heaven and earth in litel space
Res miranda, res miranda
Thing of wonder
By that rose we may well see
There be one God in persons three,
Pares forma, pares forma
Equal in form
The aungels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Glory to God on high
Gaudeamus, gaudeamus
Let us rejoice
Leave we all this werldly mirth
And follow we this joyful birth
Transeamus, transeamus, transeamus
Let us follow
Alleluia, res miranda, pares forma, gaudeamus
Transeamus, transeamus, transeamus
