[Verse 1]   
Good people Aall, this F#mChristmas Etime, 
conGsider Awell and Cbear in Gmind
what our good AGod for F#mus has Edone,

In BethleAhem uF#mpon the Emorn 
there Gwas a Ablest MesGsiah Aborn.
[Verse 2]
The night beAfore that F#mhappy Etide, 
the Gnoble Avirgin Cand her Gguide
were long time Aseeking F#mup and Edown 
to Gfind a Alodging Gin the Atown.
But mark how Call things came to pass: 
From every Adoor reCpelled, aGlas!
As long foreAtold, their F#mrefuge Eall 
was Gbut a Ahumble Goxen Astall. 
[Verse 3]
Near BethleAhem did F#mshepherds Ekeep
their Gflocks of Alambs and Cfeeding Gsheep,
to whom God’s Aangels F#mdid apEpear,
which Gput the Ashepherds Gin great Afear.
“Prepare and Cgo”, the angels said, 
“To BethleAhem, be Cnot aGfraid !
For there you’ll Afind, this F#mhappy Emorn, 
a Gprincely ABabe, sweet GJesus Aborn.”
[Verse 4]
With thankful Aheart and F#mjoyful Emind,
the Gshepherds Awent the Cbabe to Gfind.
And as God’s Aangel F#mhad foreEtold,
they Gdid our ASavior GChrist Abehold.
Within a Cmanger he was laid,
and by his Aside the Cvirgin Gmaid,
attending Ato the F#mLord of ELife,
who Gcame on Aearth to Gend all Astrife.

Good people all, this Christmas time,

consider well and bear in mind

what our good God for us has done,

in sending His belovèd Son.

In Bethlehem upon the morn

The night before that happy tide,

the noble virgin and her guide

to find a lodging in the town.

But mark how all things came to pass:

A C G

From every door repelled, alas!

A F#m E

As long foretold, their refuge all

G A G A

was but a humble oxen stall.

[Verse 3]

A F#m E

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep

G A C G

their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep,

A F#m E

to whom God’s angels did appear,

G A G A

which put the shepherds in great fear.

“Prepare and go”, the angels said,

“To Bethlehem, be not afraid !

For there you’ll find, this happy morn,

G A G A

a princely Babe, sweet Jesus born.”

Within a manger he was laid,

attending to the Lord of Life,

G A G A

who came on earth to end all strife.
