[00:00.57]Good people all, this Christmas-time,
[00:04.96]Consider well and bear in mind
[00:13.46]What our good God for us has done
[00:19.36]In sending his beloved Son.
[00:27.09]With Mary holy we should pray
[00:33.71]To God with love this Christmas day;
[00:41.08]In Bethlehem upon that morn
[00:47.51]There was a blessed Messiah born.
[00:56.75]Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
[01:02.60]Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep;
[01:08.87]To whom God＇s angels did appear,
[01:15.14]Which put the shepherds in great fear.
[01:21.52]＇Prepare and go＇, the angels said.
[01:27.73]＇To Bethlehem, be not afraid:
[01:34.75]For there you＇ll find, this happy morn,
[01:40.95]A princely babe, sweet Jesus born.
[01:49.54]With thankful heart and joyful mind,
[02:08.80]The shepherds went the babe to find.
[02:14.65]And as God＇s angel had foretold,
[02:20.86]They did our saviour Christ behold.
[02:27.63]Within a manger he was laid,
[02:34.49]As harmful told i want her go,
[02:50.49]There was a blessed Messiah born.
