Good people all, this Christmas time
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His beloved Son
With Mary holy, we should pray
To God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed babe, child unborn
The night before that happy tide
The noble Virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking a back door
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 was
But an humble oxen stall
Near Bethlehem did shepherds feed
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angel did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
"Prepare and go," the angel said
"To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus born"
With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went the babe to find
And as God's angel had foretold
They did the same and Christ behold
Within a manger He was laid
At by the side of the virgin maid
Attending on the Lord of Life
Who came on earth to end our strife
Good people all, this Christmas time
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His beloved Son
