Al the merier is that place
The sunne of grace him shined in.

The sunne of grace him shined in
On a day when it was morwe,
When our Lord God boren was
Withoute wem or sorwe.

The sunne of grace him shined in
On a day when it was prime,
When our Lord God boren was—
So wel He knew His time.

The sunne of grace him shined in
On a day when it was noon,
When our Lord God boren was,
And on the roode doon.

The sunne of grace him shined in
On a day when it was undern,
When our Lord God boren was
And to the herte stungen.
