William Billings - Judea (A Virgin unspotted) - текст песни (слова)

1. 
 
 
 
A Virgin unspotted, 
by Prophet foretold, 
Should bring forth a Savior 
which now we behold, 
to be our Redeemer 
from death, hell and sin, 
Which Adam's transgression 
involved us in. 
Chorus: Then let us be merry, 
put sorrow away 
our saviour Jesus 
was born on this day. 
 
2. 
 
 
 
At Bethlem in Jewry 
a city there was, 
Where Joseph and Mary 
together did pass 
And there to be taxed  
with many one mo' 
For Caesar commanded  
the same should be so. 
3. 
 
 
 
To teach us humility 
all this was done, 
Then learn we from hence, 
haughtry pride fro to shun. 
A manger's his cradle, 
who came from above, 
The Great God of mercy, 
of peace and of love.
