The Blessed Son of God

The blessed Son of God
Dawn in a dreamful golden light
With a bow of flesh and a bow of blood
Was clothed the everlasting Lord
Kyrie eleison

The Lord Christ Jesu, God's Son dear
Was a guest and a stranger here
Asked for to breathe from misery
That we might live eternally
Kyrie eleison

All this did he for us freely
For to declare his great mercy
All Christendom, be merry therefore
And give him thanks for evermore
Kyrie eleison
