The darkest midnight in December

No snow

No hail

Nor winter storm

Shall hinder for us to remember

The Babe on this night was born

With shepherds

We are come to see

This lovely Infant's glorious charms

Born of a Maid

As the prophet said

The God of love in Mary's arms

Have you not heard the sacred story

How man was made those seats to fill

Which the fallen angels lost in glory

Through their presumption

Their pride and will

They thought us mean for to obtain

Such glorious seats and crowns in heaven

So through a cheat they got Eve to eat

The fruit

To be avenged on man

Ye blessed angels join our voices

Let your gilded wings beat fluttering o'er

While every soul set free rejoices

And every devil must adore

We'll sing and pray that God always may

Our friends and family defend

God grant us grace in all our days

A merry Christmas and a happy year
