Lyrics:

There is no rose of such virtue as is the rose that bare Jesu, Alleluia.
For in this rose contained was Heaven and earth in little space. Resmiranda.
By that rose we may well see There be one God in Persons Three: Pares forma.
Then leave we all this worldly mirth And follow this joyous birth: Transeamus.
