English:
A virgin most pure, as the prophets do tell,
Hath brought forth a Baby, as it hath befell,
To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin,
Which Adam’s transgression has wrappèd us in.
Refrain
And therefore be merry, set sorrow aside;
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide.
--Davies Gilbert, 1822
