Good and True Fresh and New Christmas Carols Now let true hearts together twine Where Modesty with mirth doth joyne And let each Christian werry make For Iesus Christ our Saviours sake And for the blessed Saints which dy'd Who are in Heaven deify'd Printed at London by E. P. for Francis Coles dwelling in the Old-Baily 1642. Good and true Fresh and New CHRISTMAS CAROLS A Caroll for Christmas day To the tune of Troy Towne THe glorious Son of Heaven is up cicering the clouds or ignorance And for to save our Soules from Hell which by old Adam was our chance True God a Saviour Prophet King From heaven being sent good newes did bring The holy Angell Gabriell came to blessed Mary meeke and mild Saying all haile thou full of grace this day thou hast conceiv'd a child A Saviour to all Mankind sure She said I am a Virgin pure This vertuous Virgin was betroth'd to righteous Joseph at that time Who then perceiving other swell â—ed thinke that she had done a crime To him the Angell Gabriell said Feare not thy wife she 's a pure Maid At that same time the Emâ—erour great tares on his Subjects layd Man Woman Child where they were borne must travell where it must be payd Joseph and Mary then forth went And many a weary step they spent At length to Bethelem they came being a Village that was poore Where as no bed was to be had the Innes as then could hold no more Within an Ore-stall she did lye And yet she tooke it patiently It pleased God that very morne time came she should delivered be Where it did jâ—y her gentle heart her blessed Saviour to see Now was she Mother Wife and Maid Who had the Lawes of God obey'd No Midwives helpe she there could have no Swathing bands of Linnen pure Nor dandling Nurses her to helpe yet she most patient did endure No golden Robe nor such like things Although he was the King of Kings His Cradle there a Manger was whereas the Asse and Oxe did feed But there bright Angells did appeare with harmony as God decreed A glorious Star did then appeare To certaine Shepheards that were neere They wondring at this unknowne Star at length from heaven a voyce they heard Who bid them follow that same light and wisht them not to be affeard Saying in Bethelem this morne A Saviour and a King is borne King Herod hearing of the same was vext at heart most cruelly Who swore all Children two yeares old or under every one should dye And he his bloody Souldiers sent Lo murder each poore Innocent But God his malice to prevent an Angell did to Joseph send And bid him take his Wife and Babe and unto Aeâ—â—ypt Land to wâ—nd Where seven long yeares they did remaine Till Herods â—â—te by death was lane Thus have you heard our Saviours birth who for our wicked sins did dye For to redeeme our soules from death to live with him eternally A ioyfull Christmas to all send And thus my Caroll I doe end An other for Christmas day To the tune of All you that are Good fellowes ALl you that are good fellowes come hearken to my Song I know you doe not hate good cheere nor Liquor that is strong I hope there is none here but soone will rake my part Seeing my Master and my Dame sayes welcome with their heart This is a time of ioyfulnesse and merry time of yecre When as the rich with plenty stor'd doth make the poore good cheere Plum-poregde Roast-beefe and Minc'd-pies stands smoaking on the boord With other brave â—arieties our Master doth affoord Our Mistresse and her cleanly Maids have neatly playd the Cookes Me thinkes these dishes eagerly at my sharpe stomacke lookes As though they were affraid to see me draw my Blade But I reveng'd on them will be untill my stomack 's stayd Come fill us oâ— the strongest small drinke is out of date Me thinks I shall fare like a Prince and â—it in gallant state This is no Mizers Feast although that things be deare God grant the Founder of this Feast each Christmas keepe good cheere This day for Christ we celebrate who was borne at this time For which all Christians should rejoyce and I doe sing in Rime When you have given God thankes unto your dainties fall Heavens blesse my Massâ—â— and my Daine Lord blesse me and you all A Caroll for Saint Stevens day To the tune of Wigmores Galliard I Thinke none here but they have heard the malice of the Iewes And â—ow the Saints of Iesus Christ they did abuse and use This day for swéet Saint Stevâ—n sake we now doe celebrate Who did professe the faith of Christ for which they did him hate The Word of God so them he taught for which they did him kill Who like a Lambe he then did dye and never thought them ill One of Christs followers was he and first that martirâ—d was After our blessed Saviour did suffer on the Crosse For they with great affliction most vtidly did him use They said he sowâ—d sedition and therefore him accuse Vnto a Stake they did him tye both armes and legs with cords Because he told them of their sinnes they gave him cruell words Like bloody cruell minded men at him they threw huge stones They brusâ—d his flesh beare out his braines and breaketh all his bones But ere he di'd to heaven above he lifted up his tyes And praied to God he would forgive his cruell Enemies An other merry Carrell for the same day To the tune of Bonny sweet Rohin COme mad Boyâ—s be glad Boyes for Christmas is heere And we shal be feasted with iolly good chéer
