lyrics

Hayl, Mary, ful of grace,
moder in virgynyte.

The Holi Goste is to the sent (the = thee)
from the Fader omnipotent;
now is God withyn the went
Whan the angel seide “Ave.”

Whan the angel “Ave” byganne,
flesh and blode togedre ranne;
Mary bare bothe God and manne
throw vertu and throw dyngnyte. (throw = through)

So seith the Gospel of Syn Johan: (Syn Johan = Saint John)
God and man is made but one
in flesch and blode, body and bone,
O God in personys thre.

Moche joye to us was graunt
and in erthe pees yplaunte (And peace planted on earth)
whan that born was this faunte (faunte = infant)
in the londe of Galile.

Mary, graunte us the blys
ther thy Sonys wonynge ys; (wonynge = dwelling)
of that we han ydone amys (for what we have done wrong)
pray for us, pur charite. (pur charite = “pour charité,” out of love)
