I come from hevin which to tell The best nowells that e'er befell To you thir tythings trew I bring And I will of them say and sing. This day to you
the peer! Good fortune attend each merry man's friend That doth but the best that he may Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs To drive the cold winter away
Let all that are to mirth inclined Consider well and bear in mind What our good God for us has done In sending his beloved Son For to redeem our souls
Let us the Infant greet In worship before Him fall And let us pay Him homage meet On this His festival. Let us to the Infant sing And bring Him of gifts
Health, love and peace be all here in this place By your leave we shall sing, concerning our King Our King is well-dressed in silks of the best In ribbons
all is silent and the snow falls Settling soft and slow The evening deepens and the grey Folds closer earth and sky The world seems shrouded, far away
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
we pass the wintry hours By keeping up a cheerful heart we hope for better days We tend the cattle, sow the seed, give work unto the ploughers With patience wait till winter
