Lyrics:

Nowell sing we both all and some,

Now Rex pacificus is ycome.

Ex ortum est in love and liss,

now Christ his grace he gan us giss,

and with his body us bought to bliss

both all and some.

De fructu ventris of Mary bright

both God and man in her alight,

out of disease he did us dight

both all and some.

Gloria tibi ay and bliss;

God unto his grace he us wiss,

the rent of heaven that we not miss

both all and some.
