Loreena McKennitt - The Waxford Carol слова песни
Good people all, this Christmas-time,Consider well and bear in mindWhat our good God for us has doneIn sending his beloved Son.With Mary holy we should prayTo God with love this Christmas day;In Bethlehem upon that mornThere was a blessed Messiah born. The night before that happy tideThe noble Virgin and her guideWere long time seeking up and downTo find a lodging in the town.But mark how all things came to pass;From every door repelled alas!As long foretold, their refuge allWas but an humble ox`s stall. There were three wise men from afarDirected by a glorious star,And on they wandered night and dayUntil they came where Jesus lay,And when they came unto that placeWhere our beloved Messiah was,They humbly cast them at his feet,With gifts of gold and incense sweet. Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep;To whom God`s angels did appear,Which put the shepherds in great fear.`Prepare and go`, the angles said.`To Bethlehem, be not afraid:For there you`ll find, this happy morn, A princely babe, sweet Jesus born. With thankful heart and joyful mind,The shepherds went the babe to find,And as God`s angel had foretold,They did our saviour Christ behold.Within a manger he was laid,And by his side the virgin maid,Attending on the Lord of life,Who came on earth to end all strife.
