[00:28.87]Good people all, this Christmas-time,
[00:36.29]Consider well and bear in mind
[00:44.77]What our good God for us has done
[00:52.26]In sending his beloved Son.
[01:00.03]With Mary holy we should pray
[01:07.07]To God with love this Christmas day;
[01:14.56]In Bethlehem upon that morn
[01:21.97]There was a blessed Messiah born.
[01:30.53]
[01:32.30]The night before that happy tide
[01:38.72]The noble Virgin and her guide
[01:45.13]Were long time seeking up and down
[01:52.08]To find a lodging in the town.
[02:00.18]But mark how all things came to pass;
[02:07.23]From every door repelled alas!
[02:14.66]As long foretold, their refuge all
[02:21.88]Was but an humble ox's stall.
[02:29.75]
[02:31.44]There were three wise men from afar
[02:38.33]Directed by a glorious star,
[02:45.30]And on they wandered night and day
[02:51.98]Until they came where Jesus lay,
[03:00.20]And when they came unto that place
[03:07.02]Where our beloved Messiah was,
[03:15.39]They humbly cast them at his feet,
[03:22.72]With gifts of gold and incense sweet.
[03:31.45]
[03:32.49]Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
[03:38.55]Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep;
[03:44.45]To whom God's angels did appear,
[03:50.79]Which put the shepherds in great fear.
[03:58.08]'Prepare and go', the angels said.
[04:04.89]'To Bethlehem, be not afraid:
[04:12.42]For there you'll find, this happy morn,
[04:18.71]A princely babe, sweet Jesus born.
[04:26.00]
[04:28.50]With thankful heart and joyful mind,
[04:35.42]The shepherds went the babe to find.
[04:42.96]And as God's angel had foretold,
[04:49.72]They did our saviour Christ behold.
[04:57.97]Within a manger he was laid,
[05:05.28]And by his side the virgin maid,
[05:13.85]Attending on the Lord of life,
[05:21.13]Who came on earth to end all strife.
[05:31.89]
