This is the truth sent from above,
The truth of God, the God of love;
Therefore don′t turn me from your door,
But hearken all, both rich and poor.

Ah...

The first thing, which I will relate,
Is that God did man create
The next thing, which to you I'll tell,
Woman was made with man to dwell.

Ah...

Then after this, ′twas God's own choice
To place them both in Paradise,
There to remain from evil free
Except they ate of such a tree.

Ah...

And they did eat, which was a sin,
And thus their ruin did begin;
Ruined themselves, both you and me,
And all of their posterity.

Thus we were heirs to endless woes,
Till God the Lord did interpose
And so a promise soon did run
That he would redeem us by his Son.

That he would redeem us by his Son.

Ah...

Come all you worthy gentlemen
That may be standing by.
Christ our blessed Saviour
Was born on Christmas day.
The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray,
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!

The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray,
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!

Christ our blessed Saviour
Now in the manger lay;
He's lying in the manger,
While the oxen feed on hay.
The blessed Virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray.
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!

The blessed Virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray.
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!

Tidings of joy, tidings of joy, comfort and tidings of joy!
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!
The blessed Virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray.
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!

On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring.
On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring.
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King′s birth.
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King′s birth.

When sin departs before thy grace,
Then life and health come in its place.
When sin departs before thy grace,
Then life and health come in its place.
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the new-born King.

All for to see the new-born King,
The new born King,
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the new-born King.

God bless the ruler of this house,
And long, on may he reign;
From out of darkness we have light,
Which makes the angels sing this night:
Many happy Christmases
He live to see again!
From out of darkness we have light,
Which makes the angels sing this night:
God bless our generation
Who live both far and near;
"Glory to God and peace to men,
Both now and evermore, Amen."
And we wish them a happy, a happy New Year!

God bless the ruler of this house,
And long, on may he reign;
Many happy Christmases
He live to see again!

A happy New Year!
A happy New Year!
A happy New Year!

Both now and evermore, Amen.
