《The Wexford Carol》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wexford Carol (韦克斯福德卡罗尔) - The Shannon Singers

[00:00:14] Good people all this Christmas-time

[00:00:18] Consider well and bear in mind

[00:00:23] What our good God for us has done

[00:00:27] In sending his beloved Son

[00:00:32] With Mary holy we should pray

[00:00:36] To God with love this Christmas day

[00:00:41] In Bethlehem upon that morn

[00:00:46] There was a blessed Messiah born

[00:00:53] The night before that happy tide

[00:00:57] The noble Virgin and her guide

[00:01:02] Were long time seeking up and down

[00:01:06] To find a lodging in the town

[00:01:11] But mark right well what came to pass

[00:01:15] From every door repelled alas

[00:01:20] As was foretold their refuge all

[00:01:25] Was but a humble ox's stall

[00:01:32] Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep

[00:01:36] Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep

[00:01:40] To whom God's angel did appear

[00:01:45] Which put the shepherds in great fear

[00:01:50] Arise and go the angels said

[00:01:54] To Bethlehem be not afraid

[00:01:59] For there you'll find this happy morn

[00:02:04] A princely babe sweet Jesus born

[00:02:11] With thankful heart and joyful mind

[00:02:15] The shepherds went the babe to find

[00:02:19] And as God's angel had foretold

[00:02:24] They did our Saviour Christ behold

[00:02:29] Within a manger he was laid

[00:02:33] And by his side a virgin maid

[00:02:38] Attending on the Lord of Life

[00:02:42] Who came on earth to end all strife

[00:02:50] There were three wise men from afar

[00:02:54] Directed by a glorious star

[00:02:58] And on they wandered night and day

[00:03:03] Until they came where Jesus lay

[00:03:07] And when they came unto that place

[00:03:12] Where our beloved Messiah

[00:03:16] They humbly cast them at his feet

[00:03:21] With gifts of gold and incense sweet
