- Jesus Christ both God and man,
- Lord and Servnt in one person
- Born of the blessed Virgin Mary.

- I pray you be merry and sing with me,
- in worship of Christ's nativity.

- in worship of Christ's nativity.

- He that was rich, without any need,
- appeared in this world in right poor weed.
- to make us that were poor indeed,
- Rich without any need truly.
- Refrain
- 3.
- A stable his chamber, a cratch was his bed,
- He had not a pillow to lay under his head;
- With maiden's milk that babe was fed,
- In poor clothes was lapped the Lord Almighty.
- Refrain
- 4.
- A noble lesson here is us taught,
- To set all worldly riches at naught,
- But pray we that we may be thither brought,
- Where riches is everlastingly.
