UNTO US IS BORN A SON - Catholic Hymns and Prayers

Unto us is born a Son,
Kind of quires supernal,
See on earth his life begun,
Of lords the Lord eternal.
Christ, from heav’n descending low,
Comes on earth a stranger.
Ox and ass their Owner know
Be cradled in a manger.
This did Herod sore affray,
And grievously bewilder.
So he gave the word to slay,
And slew the little children.
Of his love and mercy mild,
This the Christmas story,
And O that Mary’s gentle Child
Might lead us up to glory!
O and A and A and O.
Cum cantibus in choro.
Let the mercy organ go,
Benedicamus Domino.
