::::''1.''
:A Virgin unspotted, the prophet foretold,
:Should bring forth a Savior, which now we behold.
:To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin,
:Which Adam's transgression had wrapped us in.
 
::Chorus
::'' Aye and therefore be merry, set sorrow aside,
::Christ Jesus, our Savior, was born on this tide. ''
 
::::''2.''
:At Bethlehem city in Jewry, it was
:That Joseph and Mary together did pass,
:Alt for to be taxed with many one more,
:Great Cesar commanded the same should be so. Chorus
 
::::''3.''
:But when they had entered the city so fair,
:A number of people so mighty was there,
:That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,
:Could find in the inn there no lodging at all. Chorus
 
::::''4.''
:Then were they constrained in a stable to lie,
:Where horses and asses they used for to tie:
:Their lodging so simple they took it no scorn,
:But against the next morning our Saviour was born. Chorus
 
::::''5.''
:The King of all Kings to this world being brought,
:Small store of fine linen to wrap Him was sought,
:But when she had swaddled her young Son so sweet,
:Within an ox manger she laid Him to sleep. Chorus
 
::::''6.''
:Then God sent an angel from Heaven so high,
:To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie,
:And bade them no Longer in sorrow to stay,
:Because that our Saviour was born on this day. Chorus
 
::::''7.''
:Then presently after the shepherds did spy
:Vast numbers of Angels to stand in the sky;
:They joyfully talk and sweetly did sing,
:To God be all glory, our heavenly King. Chorus
 
::::''8.''
:To teach us humility all this was done,
:And learn we from thence haughty pride for to shun:
:A manger His cradle who came from above,
:The great God of mercy, of peace, and of love. Chorus
