STING LYRICS - There Is No Rose Of Such Virtue

"There Is No Rose Of Such Virtue"



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;

Res miranda.



By that rose we may well see

That he is God in persons three,

Pari forma.



The angels sungen the shepherds to:

Gloria in excelsis deo:

Gaudeamus.



Leave we all this worldly mirth,

And follow we this joyful birth;

Transeamus.



Alleluia, res miranda,

Pares forma, gaudeamus,

Transeamus.
