Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done,
In sending His beloved Son.
With Mary holy we should pray

There was a blessed Messiah born.

The noble virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town.
But mark right well what came to pass:
From every door repelled, alas!
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but a humble oxen stall.
