But against the next morning our Saviour was born.

Rejoice and be merry, set sorrow aside,

Christ Jesus, our Saviour, was born on this tide.

The King of all Glory to the world being brought,

Small store of fine linen to wrap Him was bought;

When Mary had swaddled her young Son so sweet,

Within an ox-manger she laid Him to sleep.

Rejoice and be merry, etc.
