[Verse 1]
[F]Good people all, [C]this Christmas time,
[F]Consider well [C]and [F]bear in mind
[C]What [F]our good God for [C]us has done
[F]In [C]sending [F]His beloved Son.
With Mary holy,
we should pray to [C]God with love
this Christ[F]mas day.
[C]In [F]Bethle[E]hem, upon that morn,
[C]there was a b[F]lessed Mes[E]siah [F]born.
The night before that happy tide,
the noble Virgin and her guide
were long time seeking
[C]Looking [F]up and down to find
a lodging [C]in the [F]town.
[C]But mark [E]how [F]all [C]things came to pass.
[F]From every door re [C]pel[F]led
alas.
As long foretold, [C]their [E]refuge [F]all
[E]Was but [F]a humble [C]ox's [E]stall.[F][E]
[C]Near [F]Bethlehem these shepherd[C]s keep,
[F]Their flocks [C]of lambs and feed[F]ing sheep,
To whom your dangers did ap[C]pear,
[F]Which put the shepherds in great fear.
Prepare [C]an d go,
the angels [F]said,
[C]To Bethlehem in Malt [F]afraid.
[C]For there you'll find this happy man,
A princely babe, sweet Jesus, [F]born.
With thankful heart and joyful [C]mind,
[F]The shepherds went, a babe to find,
And as those angels have foretold,
Where did our Savior Christ belong?
Within a manger He was laid,
And by [E]His side [C]a V[E]irgin[F] made,
Attending to the Lord of life,
Who came on earth to end our strife.
