Original text and translations
circa 14-15th Century
- Out of your sleep arise and wake,
- for God mankind hath now ytake.
- All of a maid without any make;
- of all women she beareth the bell.
- Glory to God in the highest.
- And through a maiden fair and wise,
- now man is made of full great price;
- now angels kneelen to man's service,
- and at this time all this befell.
- Now man is brighter than the sun;
- now man in heaven on high shall won;
- blessed be God this game is begun
- and his mother that beareth the bell.
- Now blessed Brother grant us grace,
- at doomes day to see thy face,
- and in thy court to have a place,
- that we may there sing thee nowell.
