Lyrics: Yes
 
Good people all, this Christmas-time
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved Son
 
With Mary holy we should pray
To God with love this Christmas day
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born
 
INTERLUDE
 
The night before that happy tide
The noble Virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town
 
But mark how all things come to pass
From every door repelled alas!
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but an humble ox's stall
 
INTERLUDE
 
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
 
"Prepare and go," the angels said
"To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus born"
 
INTERLUDE
 
With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went the babe to find
And as God's angel had foretold
They did our Saviour Christ behold
 
Within a manger he was laid
And by his side the Virgin maid
Attending on the Lord of life
Who came on earth to end all strife
 
Good people all, this Christmas-time
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved Son
