<p>A Child this day is born,<br>
|
|
A Child of high renown.<br>
|
|
Most worthy of a scepter,<br>
|
|
A scepter and a crown.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Noëls, noëls, noëls,<br>
|
|
Noëls sing all we may,<br>
|
|
Because the King of all kings<br>
|
|
Was born this blessèd day.</p>
|
|
<p>The which the holy prophets<br>
|
|
Spoke of long time before,<br>
|
|
That from the fall of Adam<br>
|
|
He should us all restore.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>This Child both God and Man<br>
|
|
From Heaven down to us came,<br>
|
|
He is the King of all Kings,<br>
|
|
And Jesus is His Name.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>These tidings Shepherds heard<br>
|
|
In their field watching their fold,<br>
|
|
Was by an angel unto them<br>
|
|
That night revealed and told.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Who standing near by them<br>
|
|
To them shinèd so bright,<br>
|
|
That they amazèd were<br>
|
|
At that most glorious sight.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>To whom the angel spoke,<br>
|
|
Saying, “Be not afraid;<br>
|
|
Be glad, poor silly shepherds;<br>
|
|
Why are you so dismayed?”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>“For lo, I bring you tidings<br>
|
|
Of gladness and of mirth,<br>
|
|
Which cometh to all people by<br>
|
|
This holy Infant’s birth.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>“Him hath God lifted up<br>
|
|
As light and shepherd’s horn,<br>
|
|
Which in the city of David<br>
|
|
This present time was born.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>“The only Son of God was He<br>
|
|
The Lord and God most highest;<br>
|
|
And He is the true Shepherd,<br>
|
|
The young Child Jesus Christ.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Then there was with the angel<br>
|
|
A host incontinent<br>
|
|
Of heavenly bright soldiers,<br>
|
|
Which from the Highest was sent.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Lauding the Lord our god,<br>
|
|
And His celestial King;<br>
|
|
“All glory be in paradise,”<br>
|
|
This heavenly host did sing.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>“Glory be unto our God,<br>
|
|
That sitteth still on high,<br>
|
|
With praises and with triumph great,<br>
|
|
And joyful melody.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>But when this holy army<br>
|
|
Of heavenly soldiers bright<br>
|
|
Was unto God returnèd<br>
|
|
And vanished out of sight;</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The shepherds hearts joyful<br>
|
|
At this great glorious news<br>
|
|
That the King of all kings<br>
|
|
Was risen amongst the Jews.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Without the least of hindrance<br>
|
|
Anon they went in then,<br>
|
|
And found the young Child Jesus Christ<br>
|
|
Thus born in Bethlehem.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>And as the angel told them,<br>
|
|
So to them did appear;<br>
|
|
They found the young Child Jesus Christ<br>
|
|
With Mary his mother dear.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Now such a place it was<br>
|
|
Where this was come to pass<br>
|
|
For want of room this Child was laid<br>
|
|
Betwixt an ox and ass.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Not sumptuously, but simply<br>
|
|
Was this young King arrayed,<br>
|
|
A manger was the cradle<br>
|
|
Where this young Child was laid.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>No pride at all was found<br>
|
|
In this most holy Child,<br>
|
|
But He being void of all sin<br>
|
|
The Lamb of god most mild.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>His body unto bitter pains<br>
|
|
He gave to set us free:<br>
|
|
He is our Savior Jesus Christ<br>
|
|
And none but only He.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>To Father, Son and Holy Ghost<br>
|
|
All glory be therefore,<br>
|
|
To Whom be all dominion<br>
|
|
Both now and evermore.</p>
