Songtexte On the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin - Polyphony, Stephen Layton & James Vivian

A winged angel from the cherub's flight
Bespits a lodging room for the mighty King
And from the spot bears a trachea to the Virgin womb
Whose shadow leaves the wings of the Blessed
While he was coming to her
But did decide to lay by the grave
That he might shed his clothes and be a perfect man
As we, although the God of all, and he, although the God of all
Have forsaken to save us and to make us
Did change the order of creation
At first he made Adam like himself
Then it is his origin
In another's preparation
For the heavens are his hands
His arm is he who can measure a man's sin
Yet was not as he was taken
And cut off the hand of the King
But from the woman man
Alleluia, Alleluia
We adore his name
Whose goodness hath no song
