Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford, Lucy Wakeford and Owen Rees - A Ceremony of Carols: X. Deo gracias

Adam lay ibounden
Bounden in a bond
Four thousand winter
Thought he not to long
And all was for an appil
An appil that he tok
As clerkès finden
Written in their book
Ne had the appil takè ben
The appil takè ben
Ne haddè never our lady
A ben hevenè quene
Blessèd be the time
That appil takè was
Therefore we moun singen
Deo gracias!
