[00:04.82]
[00:05.19]The darkest midnight in December
[00:12.64]No snow, no hail, nor winter storm
[00:20.09]Shall hinder for us to remember
[00:27.51]The Babe on this night was born
[00:34.66]
[00:35.03]With shepherds, we are come to see
[00:41.49]This lovely Infant's glorious charms
[00:49.25]Born of a Maid, as the prophet said
[00:55.09]The God of love in Mary's arms.
[01:02.78]
[01:03.15]Have you not heard the sacred story
[01:10.56]How man was made those seats to fill
[01:18.08]Which the fallen angels lost in glory
[01:25.65]Through their presumption, their pride and will?
[01:33.26]
[01:33.63]They thought us mean for to obtain
[01:39.83]Such glorious seats and crowns in heaven
[01:47.57]So through a cheat they got Eve to eat
[01:53.56]The fruit, to be avenged on man.
[02:01.24]
[02:01.61]Ye blessed angels join our voices
[02:09.82]Let your gilded wings beat fluttering o’er
[02:17.59]While every soul set free rejoices
[02:25.05]And every devil must adore.
[02:32.70]
[02:33.07]We'll sing and pray that God always may
[02:39.12]Our friends and family defend
[02:46.99]God grant us grace in all our days
[02:52.97]A merry Christmas and a happy year.
