A virgin unspotted the prophets foretold.
Should bring forth a Savior which now we behold;
To be our Redeemer from death, hell, and sin,
Which Adam's transgression in-volv-ed us in.
Then let us be merry, cast sorrow away,
Our Savior Christ Jesus was born on this day;
Then let us be merry, cast sorrow away,
Our Savior Christ Jesus was born on this day.

To Teach us humility all this was done,
Then learn we from hence haughty pride for to shun;
A manger's his cradle, who came from above,
The great God of Mercy, of Peace, and of Love.
Then let us be merry, cast sorrow away,
Our Savior Christ Jesus was born on this day;
Then let us be merry, cast sorrow away,
Our Savior Christ Jesus was born on this day.
