I just transcribed this song from the Roberts/Barrand album Nowell Sing We Clear 4, and I was wondering, if anyone knows the lyric, could you maybe correct any mistake I may have made, especially in the line that reads

Gone this day here doth stay, for we wrought the story

thanks,

The Boy's Carol

Lend the boys cheerful noise, sing today, numbered joys
Praise aloud, clear and proud, praise to Him in chorus
Giv'n from heav'n for us
Virgin born, born, born Virgin born, born, born
Virgin born, on that morn, procreated for us

He who rules heav'n and earth, lies in stall at his birth
Humble beasts at his feast, see the light eternal
Vanquish realms infernal
Satan's done, done, done, Satan's done, done, done
Satan's done, God has won, our victory's supernal

Magi come from afar, see their son, tiny one
Followed far, little star, at the crib adoring
Man to God restoring
Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh, Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh
Gold and myrrh, offered there, incense for adoring

Man and boy join in joy, sing as heav'n sings for joy
Gone this day here doth stay, for we wrought the story
Of his might and glory
So to God, God, God, so to God, God, God
So to God, glory be, in the highest glory

Lend the boys cheerful noise, sing today, numbered joys
Praise aloud, clear and proud, praise to Him in chorus
Giv'n from heav'n for us
Virgin born, born, born Virgin born, born, born
Virgin born, on that morn, procreated for us

God, I thought our diction was better than that. Does Mudcat do automatic line breaks now - let's see...

Let the boys' cheerful noise
Sing today none but joys
Praise aloud, clear and proud,
Praise to Him in chorus,
Given from heaven for us.
        Virgin-born, born, born,
        Virgin-born, born, born,
Virgin-born, on that morn
Procreated for us.

He who rules heaven and earth
Lies in stall at His birth,
Humble beasts at his feet
See the Light eternal
Vanquish realms infernal.
        Satan's done, done, done,
        Satan's done, done, done,
Satan's done, God has won
Victory supernal.

Magi come from afar,
See their sun, tiny one,
Follow far little star,
At the crib adoring,
Man to God restoring.
        Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh,
        Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh,
Gold and myrrh offered there,
Incense for adoring.

Man and boy, join in joy,
Sing as heaven sings for joy,
God this day here doth stay,
Pour we forth the story
Of His might and glory.
        So to God, God, God,
        So to God, God, God,
So to God, glory be,
In the highest, glory.
