A sweeté lording.

Mine own dear darling

That eternal lord is he
That made allé thing;
Of allé lordés he is Lord
Of allé kinges King.

There was mickle melody
At that childés birth:
Though the songsters were heavenly
They madé mickle mirth.

Angels bright they sang that night
And saiden to that child,

That is both meek and mild."

And to his mother dear,
God grant them all his blessing
That now maken cheer.
