When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day,
I asked the Lord to help me,
And he showed me the say.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.

God bless the master of this house,
And all that are therein,
And to begin this Christmas tide
With mirth now let us sing.
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.
Then let us all most merry be,
And sing with cheerful voice,
For we have good occasion now
This time for to rejoice.
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.
Then put away contention all,
And fall no more at strife,
Let every man with cheerfulness
Embrace his loving wife.
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.
With plenteous food your houses store,
Provide some wholesome cheer,
And call your friends together
That live both far and near.
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.
Then let us all most merry be,
Since that we are come here,
And we do hope before we part
To taste some of your beer.
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.
Your beer, your beer, your Christmas beer,
That seems to be so strong,
And we do wish that Christmas tide
Was twenty times so long.
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.
Then sing with voices cheerfully,
For Christ this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn.

God bless you, merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay;
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save poor souls from Satan's power,
That long have gone astray?
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy,
Joy and joy,
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy.
The shepherds brought these tidings
And rejoiced much in mind;
They left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind.
Straightway they went to Bethlehem
The Son of God to find?
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy,
Joy and joy,
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy.
Straightway they went to Bethlehem,
Where our sweet Saviour lay;
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed with hay;
The Blessed Virgin Mary
Kneeling to the Lord did pray?
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy,
Joy and joy,
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy.
God bless the Master of this house
And Mis-ter-ess also;
God bless the little children
That round the table go;
God bless their friends and kindred,
That come from far and near;
May the Lord send you a happy New Year,
Happy New Year,
May the Lord send you a happy New Year.

God give ye merry Christmas tide,
Ye gentle people all!
And in your merry making may
No evil chance befall:
Rejoice! for once at Bethlehem,
While shepherds knelt to pray,
Our blessed Master Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day;
Our blessed Master Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day.
Ye hang the twining winter-green,
The glad home-fires ye light,
And cherry Merry Christmas keep,
With hearts and voices bright;
But in a stall at Bethlehem,
Where simple shepherds pray,
Our blessed Master Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day;
Our blessed Master Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day.
God give ye merry Christmas tide,
And give ye all to see
How blessed 'tis to give and know
The grace of charity;
Rejoice! for once at Bethlehem,
To give His life away,
Our blessed Master Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day;
Our blessed Master Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day.

God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan’s power,
When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Jury,
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger,
Upon this blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our heavenly Father,
A blessed angel came.
And unto certain shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born,
The Son of God by name:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Fear not, then said the Angel,
Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Savior,
Of virtue, power, and might;
So frequently to vanquish all,
The friends of Satan quite;
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
The shepherds at those tidings,
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway,
The Son of God to find
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
But when to Bethlehem they came,
Where our dear Savior lay
They found him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
With sudden joy and gladness
The shepherds were beguiled,
To see the Babe if Israel,
Before His mother mild,
O then with joy and cheerfulness
Rejoice, each mother's child.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood,
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas,
Doth bring redeeming grace.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
God bless the ruler of this house,
And send him long to reign,
And many a merry Christmas
May live to see again;
Among your friends and kindred
That live both far and near.
That God send you a happy new year,
Happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.

We saw a light shine out a-far,
On Christmas in the morning;
And straight we knew it was Christ's star,
Bright beaming in the morning.
Then did we fall on bended knee,
On Christmas in the morning;
And prais'd the Lord, who let us see
His glory at its dawning.
Oh! Every thought be of His Name,
On Christmas in the morning;
Who bore for us both grief and shame,
Afflictions sharpest scorning.
And we may die (when death shall come,)
On Christmas in the morning;
And see in Heav'n, our glorious home,
That Star of Christmas morning.

Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
News! News!
Jesus Christ is born today:
Ox and ass before him bow,
And He is in the manger now.
Christ is born today! Christ is born today!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss;
Joy! Joy!
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened the heav'nly door,
And man is blessed evermore.
Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this!
Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave;
Peace! Peace!
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain his everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save!

Good King Wenceslas looked out,
On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even:
Brightly shone the moon that night,
Though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
Gathering winter fuel.
"Hither page and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he,
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain,
Right against the forest fence,
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
"Bring me food and bring me wine,
Bring me pine logs hither:
Thou and I will see him dine,
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch forth they went,
Forth they went together;
Though the rude winds wild lament,
And the bitter weather.
"Sire, the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, I know now how,
I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, my good page;
Tread thou in them boldly;
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."
In his master's steps he trod,
Where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor,
Shall yourselves find blessing.
