To save us all from Satan's power

A blessed Angel came;

And unto certain Shepherds  
         F               E
Brought tidings of the same:

How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by Name.

And when they came to Bethlehem

Where our dear Saviour lay,

They found Him in a manger,

Where oxen feed on hay;

His Mother Mary kneeling down,

Unto the Lord did pray.

Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,

This holy tide of Christmas 
     Am           G
All other doth deface.
