Blyssid be yᵗ mayde mary,
born he was of her body,
godis sone yᵗ syttit on hy,
- nõ ex uirili semine.
In a manjor of an as
Jηu lay & lullyd was,
harde peynis for to pas,
- ᵽ peccante homine.
Kyngs comỹ fro dyvesse londe,
Wᵗ grete ȝyfts in þer honde,
In bedlem yᵉ child yey fonde,
- Stella ducte lumı̅e.
Man & chyld bothe eld & ying
Now in his blysful comyng,

- gɫa tʼ dñe.
Nowel, nowel, in yis halle,
Make merye I prey ȝu alle,
On to yᵗ chyld may we calle,
- ullo sine crimine.
