 The aungels made a mery noyse, 
 Yet have we more cause to rejoyse.

 In a cryybe full poore dyd lye: 
 With oure poore flesh and oure blounde 
 Was clothed that everlastynge good.

 In our flesh hath oure health brought; 
 For oure sake made He hymselfe full small; 
 That reigneth Lorde and Kynge over all.

 To the worlde both farre and neare; 
 It shyneth full clear even at mydnight, 
 Makynge us chyldren of His Lyght.

 Was a gest and a straunger here; 
 Us for to brynge from mysery, 
 That we might lyve eternally,

 To make us ryche in mercye: 
 Therefore wolde He oure synnes forgeve, 
 That we with Hym in heaven myght lyve.

 7.All this dyd He for us frely, 
 For to declare His great mercy: 
 All Christendome be mery therfore, 
 And geve Hym thankes evermore.
