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
With Mary holy we should pray
To God with love this Christmas Day;
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born
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
But mark how all things came to pass:
From ev’ry door repell’d, alas!
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but an humble oxen stall
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
‘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.’
