The Wexford Carol |
| Ó, tagaig' uile is adhraigí |
| An leanbh cneasta sa chró 'na luí |
| Is cuimhnígí ar ghrá an Rí |
| Good people all, this Christmas time, |
| Consider well and bear in mind |
| What our good God for us has done |
| In sending his beloved son |
| With Mary holy we should pray, |
| To God with love this Christmas Day |
| In Bethlehem upon that morn, |
| There was a blessed Messiah born |
| Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep |
| Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep |
| To whom God’s angel did appear |
| Which put the shepherds in great fear |
| Prepare and go, the angels said |
| To Bethlehem, be not afraid |
| For there you’ll find, this happy morn |
| A princely babe, sweet Jesus, born |
| With thankful heart and joyful mind |
| The shepherds went the babe to find |
| And as God’s angel had foretold |
| They did our Saviour Christ behold |
| Within a manger he was laid |
| And by his side a virgin maid |
| Attending on the Lord of Life |
| Who came on earth to end all strife |
