Misc Traditional - Wexford carol

Good people ^Aall, this ^F#mChristmas ^Etime, con^Gsider ^Awell and ^Cbear in ^Gmind what our good ^AGod for ^F#mus has ^Edone, in ^Gsending ^AHis be^Glovèd ^ASon. With Mary ^Choly we should pray to God with ^Alove this ^CChristmas ^GDay. In Bethle^Ahem u^F#mpon the ^Emorn there ^Gwas a ^Ablest Mes^Gsiah ^Aborn.

The night be^Afore that ^F#mhappy ^Etide, the ^Gnoble ^Avirgin ^Cand her ^Gguide were long time ^Aseeking ^F#mup and ^Edown to ^Gfind a ^Alodging ^Gin the ^Atown. But mark how ^Call things came to pass: From every ^Adoor re^Cpelled, a^Glas! As long fore^Atold, their ^F#mrefuge ^Eall was ^Gbut a ^Ahumble ^Goxen ^Astall.

Near Bethle^Ahem did ^F#mshepherds ^Ekeep their ^Gflocks of ^Alambs and ^Cfeeding ^Gsheep, to whom God’s ^Aangels ^F#mdid ap^Epear, which ^Gput the ^Ashepherds ^Gin great ^Afear. “Prepare and ^Cgo”, the angels said, “To Bethle^Ahem, be ^Cnot a^Gfraid ! For there you’ll ^Afind, this ^F#mhappy ^Emorn, a ^Gprincely ^ABabe, sweet ^GJesus ^Aborn.”

With thankful ^Aheart and ^F#mjoyful ^Emind, the ^Gshepherds ^Awent the ^Cbabe to ^Gfind. And as God’s ^Aangel ^F#mhad fore^Etold, they ^Gdid our ^ASavior ^GChrist ^Abehold. Within a ^Cmanger he was laid, and by his ^Aside the ^Cvirgin ^Gmaid, attending ^Ato the ^F#mLord of ^ELife, who ^Gcame on ^Aearth to ^Gend all ^Astrife.
