Lyrics
Noรซl (Noรซl)
A boy was born in Bethlehem (Noรซl)
Herod, that was both wild and bold
Full much he shed of Christian blood
To slay the child so mean
That Mary bare his name
Noรซl
Noรซl
Noรซl
Herod soon with pride and sin
Thousand of Judรฆans ran within
The body of Christ he would to bin
Destroy this bliss of man
Noรซl
Noรซl
Noรซl
Mary with Jesus forth he flore
As the angel had told
To flee the land she did go
To Egypt she took him away
Noรซl
Noรซl
Noรซl
Now Jesus, that didst die for us on the rod
And didst grace and innocence in the blood
By the prayer of thy mother good
Bring us to bliss that lasts forever
Noรซl
Noรซl
Noรซl
