a virgin unspotted, the prophet foretold
should bring forth a savior, which now we behold
to be our redeemer from death, h-ll, and sin
which adam’s transgression entangled us in

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day

at bethlehem city in jewry it was
that joseph and mary together did pass
all for to be taxèd with many one moe
great caesar commanded the same should be so

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day

but when they had entered the city so fair
a number of people so mighty was there
that joseph and mary, whose substance was small
could find in the inn there no lodging at all

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day

then they were constrained in a stable to lie
where horses and asses they used for to tie:
their lodging so simple they took it no scorn
before the next morning our savior was born

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day

the king of all kings to this world having come
they sought out fine linen to wrap him in some
and when she had swaddled her young son so sweet
within an ox manger, she laid him to sleep

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day

then god sent an angel from heaven so high
to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie
and bade them no longer in darkness to stay
because that a saviour was born on this day

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day

then presently after the shepherds did spy
vast numbers of angels that covered the sky;
they joyfully cried out and sweetly did sing
to god be all glory, our heavenly king

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day

to teach us humility all this was done;
we learn haughty pride and resentment to shun:
a manger his cradle who came from above
the great god of mercy, of peace, and of love

then let us be merry, put sorrow away
christ jesus our savior was born on this day
