Proface, welcome, well come, For now is born a Child of grace Who for us men our flesh doth take. This holy time of Christmas All woe and sin we should release And cast away all heaviness. Then hasten all and enter We welcome all that now appear His loving grace shall ye find here. Well come be this new year And look ye all be of good cheer The Lord our God be with us here.

Terly, terlow. So merrily the shepherds began to blow. About the field they piped full right. lt was the middle of the night Adown from Heaven there came a light. Angels there came a company With merry songs and melody. The shepherds anon 'gan them espy. The shepherds hied them to Bethlehem To see that blessed Sonnebeam, And there they found the world's Lightstream. Now pray we to that young meek Child And to His Mother fair and mild Whose maidenhood was ne'er defiled.
