There is no rose of swych vertu
As is the rose that bare Jhesù
Alleluya
For in this rose conteyned was
Heven and erthe in lytle space
Res miranda
There is no rose of swych vertu
As is the rose that bare Jhesù
Alleluya
Be that rose we my weel see
That he is God in persones three
Pari forma
There is no rose of swych vertu
As is the rose that bare Jhesù
Alleluya | There is no rose of such excellence
As is the rose that bore Jesus
Alleluya
For in this rose, heaven and earth
Were contained in a small space
A thing to be wondered at
There is no rose of such excellence
As is the rose that bore Jesus
Alleluya
By that rose, we may well see
That he is God in persons three
In one substance
There is no rose of such excellence
As is the rose that bore Jesus
Alleluya |
