The Choir of King's College - Carol: A Virgin Most Pure

c virgin most pure, as the Prophets do tell,
Hath brought forth a baby1, as it hath befell,
To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin,
Which cdam's transgression had wrapped us in.

cye, and therefore be you merry,
Rejoice and be merry,
Set sorrow aside;
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide.

ct Bethlehem city in Jewry4 a City there was
Where Joseph and Mary together did pass,
cnd there to be taxed, with many one more,
For Caesar commanded the same should be so.

cye, and therefore be you merry,
Rejoice and be merry,
Set sorrow aside;
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide.

But, when they had entered the city so fair
c number of people so mighty was there,
That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,
Could get in the Inn there no lodging at all.

cye, and therefore be you merry,
Rejoice and be merry,
Set sorrow aside;
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide.

Then were they constrained in a stable to lye,
Where horses and asses6a they us'd for to tie;
Their lodging so simple they held it no scorn,
But against the next morning our Saviour was born

cye, and therefore be you merry,
Rejoice and be merry,
Set sorrow aside;
Christ Jesus our Savior was born on this tide
