Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His belovd Son.
With Mary holy we should pray
To God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon the morn There was a blest 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 every door repelled, alas!
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but a 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 upon this morn
A princely babe, Sweet Jesus born.
