Into this world now is come

The Early English Carols, No. 273

Burden:
Into this world now is come
    Christe Redemptor omnium.

Verses 1 & 2:
O worthy Lord and most of might
    Eterne Rex Altissime
Thee to honour me thinkest right
    Jam lucis orto sidere.

As thou art Lord of worthiness
    Conditor alme siderum
All us to bring out of darkness
    Christe Redemptor omnium.

Burden:
Into this world now is come
    Christe Redemptor omnium.

Verses 3 & 4:
With beames clear of righteousness
    Aurora lucis rutilat
In joy thereof with all gladness
    Vox clara, ecce intonat.

Now glorious Lord and worthy king
    Jesu Salvator seculi
Grant us thy bliss everlasting
    Summi largitor primii.

Burden:
Into this world now is come
    Christe Redemptor omnium.
