Days to go: 873 -- Pieces to go: 9.75

Day 127:

THERE IS NO ROSE OF SUCH VIRTUE

There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu;
Alleluia.

For in that rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space;
Res miranda.

By that rose we may well see
There be one God in Persons three;
Pares forma.

The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis, gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gaudeamus.

Leave we all this worldly mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth;
Transeamus.

Alleluia, res miranda,
Pares forma, gaudeamus,
Transeamus, transeamus.

(Set by Benjamin Britten)
