::''1.''
A virgin most pure, as the prophets do tell,<br>
Hath brought forth a baby, as it hath befell;<br>
To be our Redeemer from death, hell, and sin,<br>
Which Adam's transgression had wrapped us in.<br>
 
:''Aye, and therefore be merry;
:''Rejoice, and be you merry;
:''Set sorrow aside;
:''Christ Jesus our Saviour was born at this tide.
::''2.''
In Bethlehem Jewry a city there was,<br>
Where Joseph and Mary together did pass,<br>
And there to be taxed with many one mo,<br>
For Caesar commanded the same should be so. <br>
:''Aye, and therefore, etc.''<br>
 
::''3.''
But when they had entered the city so fair,<br>
A number of people so mighty was there,<br>
That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,<br>
Could find in the inn there no lodging at all.<br>
:''Aye, and therefore, etc.''<br>
 
::''4.''
Then they were constrained in a stable to lie,<br>
Where horses and asses they used for to tie;<br>
Their lodging so simple they took it no scorn,<br>
But again the next morning our Saviour was born.<br>
:''Aye, and therefore, etc.''<br>
 
::''5.''
The King of all kings to this world being brought,<br>
Small store of fine linen to wrap him was sought;<br>
And when she had swaddled her young son sweet,<br>
Within an ox-manger she laid him to sleep.<br>
:''Aye, and therefore, etc.''<br>
 
::''6.''
Then God sent an angel from heaven so high,<br>
To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie,<br>
And bade them no longer in sorrow to stay,<br>
Because that our Saviour was born on this day.<br>
:''Aye, and therefore, etc.''<br>
 
::''7.''
Then presently after the shepherds did spy<br>
A number of angels that stood in the sky;<br>
They joyfully talkèd and sweetly did sing,<br>
"To God be all glory our heavenly King."<br>
:''Aye, and therefore, etc.''
