The original is partly in Renaissance French of the court and partly in a dialect of that period.
Performed by the dwsChorale (a one-man choir)

It is based on a Czech Furiant (a fast dance with metre shifting between duple and triple time) called "Sedlák, sedlák", which was also sung as a light-hearted and frolicsome song gently poking fun at a corpulent farmer.
The words of the carol are by Malcolm Sargent himself.
Girls and boys, leave your toys. make no noise,
Kneel at His crib and worship Him.
At Thy shrine, Child divine, we are Thine,
Our Saviour's here.
"Hallelujah!" the church bells ring,
"Hallelujah!" the angels sing,
"Hallelujah!" from ev'rything.
All must draw near.

Ancor che col partire
io mi senta morire,
partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento:
tant'e il piacer ch'io sento
de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno:
et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno
partir da voi vorrei:
tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei.
Although when I leave you
it is as if I were dying,
I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment,
I am so very happy
when life comes back to me when I return:
and so I wish I could leave you
many thousand times a day
because my heart leaps with joy when I return.

Based on an anonymous manuscript arrangement of this old spiritual, found by a member of our singing group back in the 1990s.
Another member of our singing group (Jill Mitchell) wrote the words for the second verse.
This is my own performance (as the multitrack choir dwsChorale)
1. If there's anybody here like weepin' Mary
Call upon your Jesus and he'll draw nigh
If there's anybody here like weepin' Mary
Call upon your Jesus and he'll draw nigh
Oh glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory be to my God who rules on high
[traditional]
2. "They have stole away my Lord" said weepin' Mary
"and I know not where they have laid him down"
"Yes they've stole away my Lord" said weepin' Mary
"and I know not where they have laid him down"
"Oh Mary!" "Is it you Rabboni?"
Jesus here is risen and dies no more.
