歌词
[Verse 1]
Good people all, this Christmas time
Consider well, and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved son
[Verse 2]
With Mary holy, we should pray
To God with love this Christmas day
In Bethlehem, upon this morn
There was a blessed Messiah born
[Verse 3]
The night before that happy tide
The noble virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking, up and down
To find a lodging in the town
[Verse 4]
But mark how all things came to pass
From every door, repelled alas
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but a humble ox's stall
[Verse 5]
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
[Verse 6]
Prepare and go the angels said
To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus born
