- 1.
A Virgin unspotted,
by Prophet foretold,
Should bring forth a Savior
which now we behold,
to be our Redeemer
from death, hell and sin,
Which Adam's transgression
involved us in.
- 2.
Then let us be merry,
put sorrow away
our saviour Jesus
was born on this day.
- 3.
At Bethlem in Jewry
a city there was,
Where Joseph and Mary
together did pass,
And there to be taxed
with many one mo'
For Caesar commanded
the same should be so.
- 4.
To teach us humility
all this was done,
Then learn we from hence,
haughtry pride fro to shun.
A manger's his cradle,
who came from above,
The Great God of mercy,
of peace and of love.
