The Wexford Carol
(Possibly 12th Century)
G Em D
Good people all, this Christmas time,
G Bb F
consider well and bear in mind
G Em D
what our good God for us has done,
G C G
in sending His belovèd Son.
Bb
With Mary holy we should pray
G Bb F
to God with love this Christmas Day.
G Em D
In Bethlehem upon the morn
G C G
there was a blessed Messiah born.
Verse 2:
G Em D
The night before that happy tide,
G Bb F
the noble virgin and her guide
G Em D
were long time seeking up and down
G C G
to find a lodging in the town.
Bb
But mark how all things came to pass
G Bb F
From every door repelled, alas!
G Em D
As long foretold, their refuge all
G C G
was but a humble oxen stall.
Verse 3:
G Em D
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
G Bb F
their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep,
G Em D
to whom God's angels did appear,
G C G
which put the shepherds in great fear.
Bb
"Prepare and go", the angels said,
G Bb F
"To Bethlehem, be not afraid!
G Em D
For there you'll find, this happy morn,
G C G
a princely Babe, sweet Jesus born."
Verse 4:
G Em D
With thankful heart and joyful mind,
G Bb F
the shepherds went the babe to find.
G Em D
And as God's angel has foretold,
G C G
they did our Savior Christ behold.
Bb
Within a manger he was laid,
G Bb F
and by his side the virgin maid,
G Em D
attending to the Lord of Life,
G C G
who came on Earth to end all strife.
