II. AS I WENT TO BETHLEHEM

1.As I went to Bethlehem,
Ere the dawn of day,
Met I with a knot of shepherd men,
On their homeward way.

2.Quem vidistis, pastores?
Tell me ev'ry whit:
In terris (I fain would learn of ye)
Quis apparuit?

3.Newly born we saw the Babe,
Whom an Angel throng
Worshipt as the Lord; Alléluyá,
Gloria, their song.
