The text of Adam lay ybounden is in the Sloane Manuscript in the British Library (MS 2593), which dates from the early 15th century. It has been suggested that the songs in the MS may be somewhat earlier in date than c.1400(-ish), and were possibly originally sung in Warwickshire mystery plays. As far as I am aware, there are no surviving medieval settings of Adam lay ybounden; there are, of course, several 20th century settings by English composers.
