Queramus cum pastoribus, upon which Morales based his Mass, is a 16th-century motet composed by Jean Mouton (not by Morales himself as wrongly indicated by the Classical Music Library).

Queramus cum pastoribus

Queramus cum pastoribus verbum incarnatum,
Let us, with the shepherds, seek the incarnate word,
cantemus cum hominibus regi seculorum: Noe, noe.
let us sing with all mankind to the king of the ages: Nowell, nowell.
Quem tu vides in stabulo? Jesum natum de vergine.
Whom do you see in the stable? Jesus born of a virgin.
Quid audis in pr’sepio?
What do you hear in the stall?
Angelorum carmina et pastores dicentes: Noe, noe.
The songs of the angels and the shepherds saying: Nowell, nowell.
Ubi pascas, ubi cubes?
How are you fed, and where do you lie?
Dic si ploras aut si rides; te rogamus Rex Christe: Noe, noe.
Say if you weep or smile; we ask you, Christ our King: Nowell, nowell.
Cibus est lac virgineum, lectus durum pr’sepium,
My food is the milk of a virgin, my bed a hard manger,
carmina sunt lachrymae: Noe, noe.
the only song my tears: Nowell, nowell.

Missa Queramus cum pastoribus
