[00:11.23]
[00:13.23]Let all that are to mirth inclined
[00:20.20]Consider well and bear in mind
[00:27.31]What our good God for us has done
[00:33.98]In sending his beloved Son
[00:40.69]
[00:41.88]For to redeem our souls from thrall
[00:48.67]Christ is the saviour of us all.
[00:55.21]
[00:57.41]The twenty-fifth day of December
[01:03.27]We have good cause to remember
[01:09.25]In Bethlehem upon that morn
[01:15.58]There was a blessed Messiah born
[01:21.72]
[01:24.37]But mark how all things came to pass
[01:30.63]The inn and lodgings filled was
[01:36.08]That they could find no room at all
[01:43.08]But in a straw-filled oxes stall.
[01:49.42]
[01:50.46]For to redeem our souls from thrall
[01:57.27]Christ is the saviour of us all.
[02:04.21]
[02:07.01]Near Bethlehem some shepherds keep
[02:13.71]Their flocks and herds of feeding sheep
[02:18.86]To whom God's angels did appear
[02:25.96]Which put the shepherds in great fear
[02:32.35]
[02:34.61]With thankful heart and joyful mind
[02:40.37]The shepherds went this babe to find.
[02:45.49]And as the heavenly angels told
[02:52.36]They did our saviour Christ behold.
[02:58.69]For to redeem our souls from thrall
[03:05.55]Christ is the saviour of us all.
[03:12.67]
[03:15.59]Three eastern wise men from afar,
[03:22.73]Directed by a glorious star
[03:27.88]Came boldly on and made no stay,
[03:34.83]Until they came where Jesus lay.
[03:41.48]
[03:43.27]And being come unto that place
[03:49.60]Where the blessed Messiah was
[03:55.09]They humbly laid before his feet
[04:02.01]Their gifts of gold and incense sweet.
[04:08.44]For to redeem our souls from thrall
[04:15.20]Christ is the saviour of us all.
[04:21.52]
[04:24.49]See how the Lord of heaven and earth
[04:31.24]Shewd himself lowly in his birth;
[04:37.62]A sweet example for mankind
[04:44.37]To learn to bear an humble mind.
[04:50.92]
[04:52.28]For to redeem our souls from thrall
[04:58.69]Christ is the saviour of us all.
[05:05.32]
[05:09.19]Let all your songs and praises be
[05:15.10]Unto his heavenly majesty
[05:19.89]And evermore amongst our mirth
[05:26.40]Remember Christ our Saviour's birth.
[05:34.03]
[05:37.80]Let all that are to mirth inclined
[05:45.72]Consider well and bear in mind
[05:52.98]What our good God for us has done
[06:01.06]In sending his beloved Son
[06:07.57]
[06:09.18]For to redeem our souls from thrall
[06:17.46]Christ is the saviour of us all.
