Wexford Carol

Ó, tagaig' uile is adhraigí
 An leanbh cneasta sa chró 'na luí
 Is cuimhnígí ar ghrá an Rí
 A thug dár saoradh anocht an Naí
 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
