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 from thrall
Christ is the savior of us all
The twenty-fifth day of December
We have good cause to remember
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born
But mark how all things came to pa**
The inn and lodgings filled was
That they could find no room at all
But in a straw-filled ox's stall
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the savior of us all
Near Bethlehem some shepherds keep
Their flocks and herds of feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear
With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went this babe to find
And as the heavenly angel told
They did our savior Christ behold
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the savior of us all
Three eastern wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star
Came boldly on and made no stay
Until they came where Jesus lay
And being come unto that place
Where the blessed Messiah was
They humbly laid before His feet
Their gifts of gold and incense sweet
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the savior of us all
See how the Lord of heaven and earth
Showd Himself lowly in His birth
A sweet example for mankind
To learn to bear an humble mind
For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the savior of us all
Let all your songs and praises be
Unto His heavenly majesty
And evermore amongst our mirth
Remember Christ our savior's birth
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 from thrall
Christ is the savior of us all
