This new Christmas Carol Let us cheerfully sing, To the honour and glory Of our Heavenly King, Who was born of a Virgin, Blessed Mary by name; For poor sinners' redemption To the world here he came. 2. O the mighty Jehova By the Prophets foretold That the sweet Babe of Heaven Mortal eyes should behold: Both a King, Prince, and Prophet, Nay our Saviour beside, Let his name through all ages Every be glorified. 3. Now when Joseph, and Mary Was exposed, we find, Having seen her condition, He was grieved in mind, Aye, and thought to dismiss her, Whom he loved so dear; But an Angel from Heaven Did her innocence clear. 4. He declar'd in a vision That a Son she should have, By the Father appointed Fallen mortals to save; And the same should be called Blessed Jesus by name: From the High Court of Heaven This Ambassador came. 5. Then the righteous man Joseph Believed the news, And the sweet Virgin Mary He did no wise refuse. Thus the Blest amongst Women She did bear and bring forth A sweet Prince of Salvation Both in Heaven and in Earth. 6. Then the day of her travail Did begin to draw nigh, Righteous Joseph and Mary Immediately hie To the City of David, To be taxed indeed Even as C-sar Augustus Had firmly decreed. 7. Being come to the City, Entertainment they crav'd, But the inns were so fill'd, They no lodging could have. For the birth of our Saviour, Though he was Prince of all, He could have there no palace But a poor ox's stall. 8. Now the proud may come hither And perfectly see The most excellent pattern Of humility; For instead of a cradle, Deck'd with ornaments gay, The great King of all Glory In a manger he lay. 9. As the Shepherds were feeding Of their flocks in the field, The sweet birth of our Saviour Unto them was reveal'd By blest Angels of Glory, Who these tidings did bring, And directed the Shepherds To their Heavenly King. 10. When the Wise Men discover'd The bright heavenly Star, Then with gold and rich spices Straight they came from far, In obedience to worship With a heavenly mind, Knowing that he was born For the good of mankind. 11. Let us learn of these Sages, Who were wise to obey, Nay we find through all ages They have honour'd this day Ever since our Redeemer's Blest Nativity, Who was born of a Virgin, To set poor sinners free.
