XXXIII. WHEN AN ANGEL HOST ENTUNED

1.When an Angel host entuned
Anthem sweet and airy
O'er the Child, meek and mild,
Of the Virgin Mary;

2.When, with honey, herd-men brought
Butter from the dairy
To the One Holy Son
Born of Maiden Mary;

3.When iii pilgrim kings unlockt
Each his casket, spary
Of no thing for this King,
God, the Son of Mary,

4.'Glory be to God on high,
God, who cannot vary!'
Was the lay on that day
Sung by Blessèd Mary.
