¶Lyrics / Text

Come, ye gentles, hear the story, How the Blessed Mother Maid Bare on earth the King of Glory, Lowly in a manger laid. Came the maid with holy Joseph, Weary from their journey far; Seeking humble lodgment, followed By the light of God's own Star. Though the King of kings she carried, No room had the Inn for them: Since the great of David's kingdom Gathered were at Bethlehem. In a stable cave at midnight, Late they found their simple rest; With the ox and ass beside them, And the Holy Angels blest. There the maiden bore the Saviour, Jesus, our Emmanuel; Wrapped in swaddling clothes her first-born, Saving us from death and hell. This, ye gentles, is the story, How the Blessed Mother Maid Bare on earth the King of Glory, Lowly in a manger laid.
