Upon Christmas day in the morning, Upon Christmas day in the morning, O then was born our Heavenly King: Good Lord was not this a joyful thing? Sweet Jesus is his name. The Babe was born in Bethlehem, The Babe was born in Bethlehem, All the world rejoice and sing, Sweet Jesus is his name. Upon New Year's day in the morning, Upon New Year's day in the morning, O then was circumcis'd our Heavenly King: Good Lord, was not this a joyful thing? Sweet Jesus is his name. Upon Candlemas day in the morning, Upon Candlemas day in the morning, Our blessed Lady kept her purifying: Good Lord, was not this a joyful thing? Sweet Jesus is his name. (...)
