<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&#8217;s transgression has wrapp&egrave;d 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 C&aelig;sar 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 talk&egrave;d 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&#8217;s feet;<br>
Then the Shepherds consented, and to Bethlehem did go,<br>
And when they came thither, they found it was so.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
