2. From God our heavenly Father, a blessed angel came
and unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same,
how that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name.
Chorus: Oh, tidings ...
3. The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
and left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind
and went to Bethlehem straightway, this blessed Babe to find.
Chorus: Oh, tidings ...
4. But when to Bethlehem they came, whereat this Infant lay,
they found him in a manger, where oxen feed on hay.
His mother Mary kneeling unto the Lord did pray.
Chorus: Oh, tidings ...
5. Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place
and with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace.
This holy tide of Christmas all other doth deface.
Chorus: O, tidings ...
