1.
Come all you worthy gentlemen
That may be standing by,
Christ our blessed savior
Was born on Christmas Day.
The blessed Virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did say
"O we wish you the comfort
and tidings of joy.
We wish you the tidings of joy."
2.
Christ our blessed Savior
Now in the manger lay.
He's lying in the manger,
While the oxen feed on hay.
The blessed Virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did say
"O we wish you the confort
and tidings of joy."
3.
God bless the master of this house
And long on may he reign.
May happy Christmases
He live to see again!
God bless our generation,
Who live both far and near,
And we wish them
a happy new year.
And we wish you a
happy new year.
