about

Waddinge also intended for this carol to be sung to “I doe not Love cause thou art faire”. Here it is set to “I Loathe that I did Love” from a 16th century lute book in the British Museum (BM MS Add. 4900 fol.62V ).

lyrics

The Angell said to Joseph mild
Fly with the Mother and the Child Out of this Land to Egypt go
The heavenly Babe will have it so. For that his hour is not yet Come, To die for mans Redemption.
Proud Herod he doth froth and frown Feareth to loose Kingdom and Crown Full of disdain and full of scorn
He must destroy this young King born But stay, his hour is not yet come
To die for mans Redemption.
Herod forebear this cruel flood
Of the most pure Innocent blood
To thee A Crown this Child doth bring To make thee happier than a King From highest heavens along he’s come To die for man’s Redemption.
