[VERSE 1]
Good people [A]all, this [F#m]Christmas [E]time,
con[G]sider [A]well and [C]bear in [G]mind
what our good [A]God for [F#m]us has [E]done,
in [G]sending [A]His be[G]lovèd [A]Son.
With Mary [C]holy we should pray
to God with [A]love this [C]Christmas [G]Day.
In Bethle[A]hem u[F#m]pon the [E]morn
there [G]was a [A]blest Mes[G]siah [A]born.

[VERSE 2]
The night be[A]fore that [F#m]happy [E]tide,
the [G]noble [A]virgin [C]and her [G]guide
were long time [A]seeking [F#m]up and [E]down
to [G]find a [A]lodging [G]in the [A]town.
But mark how [C]all things came to pass:
From every [A]door re[C]pelled, a[G]las!
As long fore[A]told, their [F#m]refuge [E]all
was [G]but a [A]humble [G]oxen [A]stall.

[VERSE 3]
Near Bethle[A]hem did [F#m]shepherds [E]keep
their [G]flocks of [A]lambs and [C]feeding [G]sheep,
to whom God’s [A]angels [F#m]did ap[E]pear,
which [G]put the [A]shepherds [G]in great [A]fear.
"Prepare and [C]go”, the angels said,
"To Bethle[A]hem, be [C]not a[G]fraid !
For there you’ll [A]find, this [F#m]happy [E]morn,
a [G]princely [A]Babe, sweet [G]Jesus [A]born.”

[VERSE 4]
With thankful [A]heart and [F#m]joyful [E]mind,
the [G]shepherds [A]went the [C]babe to [G]find.
And as God’s [A]angel [F#m]had fore[E]told,
they [G]did our [A]Savior [G]Christ [A]behold.
Within a [C]manger he was laid,
and by his [A]side the [C]virgin [G]maid,
attending [A]to the [F#m]Lord of [E]Life,
who [G]came on [A]earth to [G]end all [A]strife.
