|
<p>A virgin most pure, as the prophets do tell,<br>
|
|
Hath brought forth a Baby, as it hath befell,<br>
|
|
To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin,<br>
|
|
Which Adam’s transgression has wrappèd us in.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">And therefore be merry, set sorrow aside;<br>
|
|
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide.</p>
|
|
<p>At Bethlehem city, in Jewry it was<br>
|
|
Where Joseph and Mary together did pass,<br>
|
|
And there to be taxed, with many one more,<br>
|
|
For Cæsar commanded the same should be so.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>But, when they had entered the city so fair<br>
|
|
A number of people so mighty was there,<br>
|
|
That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,<br>
|
|
Could get in the city no lodging at all.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Then were they constrained in a stable to lie,<br>
|
|
Where oxen and asses they used to tie;<br>
|
|
Their lodging so simple, they held it no scorn,<br>
|
|
But against the next morning our Savior was born.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The King of all glory to this world being brought,<br>
|
|
Small store of fine linen to wrap Him was sought,<br>
|
|
When Mary had swaddled her young Son so sweet,<br>
|
|
Within an ox manger she laid Him to sleep.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Then God sent an angel from heaven so high,<br>
|
|
To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie,<br>
|
|
And bade them no longer in sorrow to stay,<br>
|
|
Because that our Savior was born on this day.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Then presently after, the shepherds did spy<br>
|
|
A number of angels appear in the sky;<br>
|
|
Who joyfully talkèd and sweetly did sing,<br>
|
|
To God be all glory, our heavenly King.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Three certain wise princes, they thought it most meet<br>
|
|
To lay their rich offerings at our Savior’s feet;<br>
|
|
Then the Shepherds consented, and to Bethlehem did go,<br>
|
|
And when they came thither, they found it was so.</p>
|
|
