CAROL by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "MAKE WE MERRY IN HALL AND BOWER, / TO-DAY WAS BORN OUR SAVIOUR!"
Last Line: "TO SHEW HIS GRACE TO US ALWAY, / GOD THAT IS OUR SAVIOUR!"

@3Make we merry in hall and bower,
To-day was born Our Saviour!@1

To-day hath God, of His Mercie
Sent His Son with man to be,
To dwell with us in veritie,
God that is Our Saviour!

To-day in Bethlehem did befall
A Child was born in ox's stall,
Who needs must die to save us all,
God that is Our Saviour!

To-day there spake an angel bright
To shepherds three, who watched by night,
And bade them take their way forthright
To God, that is Our Saviour!

Therefore, 't is meet we kneel to-day
And Christ Who died on Cross we pray
To shew His Grace to us alway,
God that is Our Saviour!
