Текст песни LOREENA MCKENNITT - The Wexford Carol
(Traditional)Good people all, this Christmas-timeConsider 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 dayIn 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 townBut mark how all things come to passFrom 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 starAnd on they wandered night and dayUntil they came where Jesus layAnd when they came unto that placeWhere our beloved Messiah wasThey humbly cast them at his feetWith gifts of gold and incense sweet.Near Bethlehem did shepherds keepTheir flocks of lambs and feeding sheepTo whom God's angels did appearWhich put the shepherds in great fear"Prepare and go," the angels said"To Bethlehem , be not afraidFor there you'll find this happy mornA princely babe, sweet Jesus born."With thankful heart and joyful mindThe shepherds went the babe to findAnd as God's angel had foretoldThey did our Saviour Christ beholdWithin a manger he was laidAnd by his side the Virgin maidAttending on the Lord of lifeWho came on earth to end all strife.
