Text:
God bless the master of this house,
And all that are therein-a,
To begin this Christmastide
With mirth now let us sing-a!

The Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born-a,
Who did from death deliver us,
When we were left forlorn-a.

Then let us all most merry be,
And sing with cheerful voice-a,
For we have good occasion to sing;
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
