Christ's Nativity Hymn.
When such music sweet
Their hearts and ears did greet
AS never was by mortal fingers strook-
Divinely warbled voice
Answering the stringed noise.
As all their souls in blissful rapture
took;
The air, such pleasure 10th to lose,
With thousand echoes still prolones
each heavenly close.
Such music as it's said,
Before was never made.
But when of old the sons of Morning
sung
While the Creator great
His constellation set,
And the wellbalanced world on hinges
hung.
And cast the dark foundations deep.
And bid the weltering waves their DOW

Move in melodious time:
And let the base of heavens deep organ

Make up full consort to the angelic
