 JHE following colleftion of Chriftmas Carols, new and old, 
 is put forth in the hope of providing a fource, eafily ac- 
 ceffible, from which thofe who are fo difpofed may make 
 choice of found words, fet to good mufic, and fuited to 
 fhe facred feafon of our Lord's Nativity. 
 
 Confiderable pains have been taken by the Editors and their friends 
 to obtain traditional Carols hitherto unpublifhed, but without much 
 fuccefs. For the greater part of the original matter here contained 
 they are indebted to the kindnefs of thofe Compofers, Authors, and 
 Tranflators whofe names appear in the Index : to whom, as well as 
 to the friends before alluded to, they here offer their beft thanks. 
 
 To thefe they have added, with two or three of their own, a 
 feledlion of the beft and moft popular melodies in fuch colleclions as 
 were at their difpofal. 
 
 With this brief account of the purpofe and nature of their under- 
 taking they commend it to the hands of thofe orthodox lovers of 
 mufic who denre to keep the Feaft of Chriftmas with mirth which 
 ftiall not overftep the bounds of reverence.

 2. In Bethlehem, in Jewry, 
 
 This blefled Babe was born, 
 And laid within a manger, 
 
 Upon this blefled Morn ; ^ 
 The which His Mother Mary, 
 
 Did nothing take in fcorn. 
 
 O tidings, &c. 
 
 3. From God our Heavenly Fathei, 
 
 A blefled Angel came ; 
 And unto certain Shepherds 
 
 Brought tidings of the fame: 
 How that in Bethlehem was born \ 
 
 The Son of God by Name. 
 O tidings, &c. 
 
 4. Fear not then faid the Angel, 
 
 Let nothing you affright, 
 This day is born a Saviour .^^ 
 
 Of a pure Virgin bright, 
 To free all thofe who truft in Him 
 
 From Satan's power and might. 
 O tidings, &c. 
 
 5. The Shepherds at thofe tidings, 
 
 Rejoiced much in mind, 
 And left their flocks a-feeding, 
 
 In tempeft, ftorm, and wind : \ 
 And went to Bethlehem ftraightway, 
 
 The Son of God to find. 
 
 O tidings, &c. 
 
 6 And when they came to Bethlehem 
 
 Where our dear Saviour lay, 
 They found Him in a manger, 
 
 Where oxen feed on hay ; 
 His Mother Mary kneeling down, 
 Unto the Lord did pray. 
 
 O tidings, &c. 
 
 7. Now to the Lord fing praifes, 
 All you within this place, 
 And with true love and brotherhood 
 
 Each other now embrace; 
 This holy tide of Chriftmas 
 All other doth deface. 
 
 O tidings, &c

 And love ftill turns where the Godhead burns, 
 Hid in Flelh from flefhly fight. 
 
 Faith fees no longer the ftable floor, 
 
 The pavement of fapphire is there; 
 The clear light of Heaven ftreams out to the world . 
 
 And Angels of God are crowding the air ; 
 And Heaven and earth, through the fpotlefs Birth, 
 
 Are at peace on this night fo fair.

 At Bethlehem city in Jewry it was 
 That Jofeph and Mary together did pafs, 
 All for to be taxed with many one moe, 
 Great Cefar commanded the fame mould be fo. 
 
 Aye and therefore. &c. 
 
 But when they had entered the city fo fair, 
 
 A number of people fo mighty was there, 
 
 That Jofeph and Mary, whole fubftance was fmall, 
 
 Could find in the inn there no lodging at all. 
 
 Aye and therefore. &c. 
 
 Then were they conflrained in a ftable to lie, 
 Where horfes and afies they ufed for to tie : 
 Their lodging fo fimple they took it no fcorn, 
 But againit the next morning our Saviour was born. 
 
 Aye and therefore. &c. 
 
 The King of all kings to this world being brought, 
 Small ftore of fine linen to wrap Him was fought, 
 But when me had fwaddled her young Son fofweet, 
 Within an ox manger me laid Him to fleep. 
 
 Aye and therefore. &c. 
 
 Then God fent an angel from Heaven fo high, 
 To certain poor fhepherds in fields where they lie, 
 And bade them no longer in forrow to flay, 
 Becaufe that our Saviour was born on this day. 
 
 Aye and therefore. &c. 
 
 Then prefently after the Shepherds did fpy 
 Valt numbers of Angels to ftand in the iky ; 
 They joyfully talked and fweetly did fing, 
 To God be all glory, our heavenly King. 
 
 Aye and therefore. &c. 
 
 To teach us humility all this was done, 
 
 And learn we from thence haughty pride for to fhun : 
 
 A manger His cradle who came from above, 
 
 The great God of mercy of peace and of love. 
 
 Aye and therefore. &c

 Come ye people, come ye nations,

 My worthlefs felf to Thee ; 
 And that the years which I may live 
 
 May pure and fpotlefs be : 
 
 4- 
 
 Grant me Thyfelf, O Saviour lend, 
 
 The Spirit undented, 
 That I may be in heart and mind 
 
 As gentle as a child ; 
 That I may tread life's arduous ways 
 
 As Thou Thyfelf haft trod, 
 And in the might cf prayer and praife 
 
 Keep ever clofe to God. 
 
 5- 
 Light of the everlafting morn, 
 
 Deep through my fpirit mine ; 
 There let Thy prefence newly born 
 
 Make all my being Thine : 
 There try me as the filver, try 
 
 Andcleanfemy foul with care, 
 Till Thou art able to defcry 
 
 Thy faultlefs image there.
