[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Good people [G]all,
this Christmas- time,
Consider well and bear in [F]mind
What our good [G]God for us has done,
In sending His be[F]loved [G]Son.
With Mary [Eb]holy [F]we should [Gm]pray
To God with love this [F]Christmas Day:
In Bethle[G]hem upon that morn
There was a blessed [F]Messiah
[G]born.
[Gsus4][G]

[Verse 2]
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding [Gsus4]sheep
To whom God's [G]angels did appear,
Which put the shepherds
in great fear.
""Prepare and [Eb]go,""
the [F]angels [Gm]said,
""To [G]Bethlehem, be [F]not afraid
For there you'll [G]find,
this happy morn,
A princely [F]Babe, sweet Jesus [G]born.""

[Verse 3]
With thankful [G]heart and joyful mind,
The shepherds went the Babe to [F]find,
And as God's [G]angel had foretold,
They did our [F]Saviour Christ [G]be hold.
Within a [Eb]manger [F]He was [Gm]laid,
And [G]by his side the Virgin [F]Maid,
Attending [G]to the Lord of Life
Who came on [F]Earth to end all [G]Strife

[Verse 4]
With Mary [Eb]holy [F]we should [G]pray
To [Gm]God with [G]love this
[F]Christmas Day:
In Bethle[G]hem upon that morn
There was [F]a blessed Messiah [G]born.
