To Bethlem they did go, O thou man, &c..
To Bethlem they did go, the shepherds
three ; [so or no,
To Bethlem they did go, to see wh'er it were
Whether Christ were born or no, to set man

As the angels before did say, so it came

As the angels before did say, they found a
In a manger, wrapt in hay, so poor he was.

angels sing ; [come to pass
Tile shepherds amazed were, liow it should
Tliat Christ, our Messias, should be our
King.
