Good people all this Christmastide
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 above this Christmas day.
In Bethlehem upon this morn
there was a blessed Messiah born.

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God’s angel did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear.
“Prepare and go,” the angel said,
“To Bethlehem,” the order came,
“For there you’ll find upon this morn
a princely babe, sweet Jesus, born.”

With thankful hearts and joyful mind
The shepherds went the babe to find,
And as God’s angel had foretold,
They did a Savior 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.
