Tomorrow shall be my dancing day
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play,
To call my true love to my dance;
Refrain: Sing O my love, O my love,
This have I done for my true love.
Then was I born of a virgin pure,
Of her I took fleshly substance;
Thus was I knit to man’s nature,
To call my true love to my dance;
Refrain
In a manger laid and wrapped I was,
So very poor this was my chance,
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass,
To call my true love to my dance;
Refrain
Then afterwards baptized I was;
The Holy Ghost on me did glance,
My God’s voice heard from above,
To call my true love to my dance;
Refrain
—17th century English carol
