Up! good christen folk, and listen

How the merry church bells ring,

And from steeple bid good people

Come adore the new-born King:

Tell the story how from glory

God came down at Christmas-tide,

Bringing gladness, chasing sadness,

Showering blessings far and wide,

Born of mother, blest o'er other,

Ex Maria Virgine,

In a stable ('tis no fable),

Christus natus hodie.
