Come all you worthy gentlemen that may be standing by
Christ our blessed Saviour was born on Christmas day.
The blessed virgin Mary unto the Lord did say
"O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!"
Christ our blessed Saviour now in a manger laid;
he's lying in the manger while the oxen feed on hay.
The blessed virgin Mary unto the Lord did say
"O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!"
God bless the ruler of this house and long on may he reign,
many happy Christmases he live to see again,
God bless our generation who live both far and near,
and we wish them a happy, a happy new year!"
