The darkest midnight in December / No snow nor 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 // Ye blessed angels join our voices / Let your gilded wings beat fluttering o’er / While every soul set free rejoices / And everyone must adore / We’ll sing and pray that God as always / May our friends and family defend / God grant us grace in all our days / A merry Christmas and a happy end
