Let All That Are To Mirth Inclined

Текст песни LOREENA MCKENNITT - Let All That Are To Mirth Inclined <br/> (Traditional)<br /><br />Let all that are to mirth inclined<br />Consider well and bear in mind<br />What our good God for us has done<br />In sending his beloved Son<br /><br />( )<br />For to redeem our souls from thrall<br />Christ is the saviour of us all.<br /><br />The twenty-fifth day of December<br />We have good cause to remember<br />In Bethlehem upon that morn<br />There was a blessed Messiah born<br /><br />But mark how all things came to pass<br />The inn and lodgings filled was<br />That they could find no room at all<br />But in a straw-filled ox&#039;s stall.<br /><br />Near Bethlehem some shepherds keep<br />Their flocks and herds of feeding sheep<br />To whom God&#039;s angels did appear<br />Which put the shepherds in great fear.<br /><br />With thankful heart and joyful mind<br />The shepherds went this babe to find<br />And as the heavenly angel told<br />They did our saviour Christ behold.<br /><br />Three eastern wise men from afar<br />Directed by a glorious star<br />Came boldly on and made no stay<br />Until they came where Jesus lay.<br /><br />And being come unto that place<br />Where the blessed Messiah was<br />They humbly laid before his feet<br />Their gifts of gold and incense sweet.<br /><br />See how the Lord of heaven and earth<br />Shewd himself lowly in his birth<br />A sweet example for mankind<br />To learn to bear an humble mind.<br /><br />Let all your songs and praises be<br />Unto his heavenly majesty<br />And evermore amongst our mirth<br />Remember Christ our Saviour&#039;s birth.<br />
