Queen of heaven,
Bless'd may thou be,
For Godës Son born
He was of thee,
For to make us free,
Gloria tibi Domine.
Jesu, God's Son
Born He was
In a crib with hay and grass,
And died for us upon the cross,
Gloria tibi Domine.
To our Lady
Make we moan,
That we may pray to her Son,
That we may to His bliss come,
Gloria tibi Domine.
