Story behind the song
I wrote this one while learning some songs by John Dowland ca 1600. I have long been impressed by his style. I know it does not sound medevil, but that is where the inspiration came from.
Lyrics
This little babe - deemed Joesph's child,
Has come to earth so meek and mild.
And though his frame for cold doth shake,
The heavens rejoice and Hell doth quake.
His mother Mary maiden child,
choosen of God as undefiled,
She knoweth naught but his humble start,
but pondereth all within her heart.
Hell hath a fury for this babe's heart.
None will molest till he does his part,
To ransom all his kin from sin,
and save each soul from within.
Angels do sing his lofty praise.
Shepherds are called from sleep to raise,
Go forth to greet the new born King.
Wonderous gifts to him, they bring.
