('Hark, the glad sound')

Matthew 1 v.1-6

***********

When Jesus born in Bethlehem

Came to Jerusalem

Wise men from the east, they said, Where

Born King of the Jews fair?

When Herod the king this did hear

He had trouble and fear

And all Jerusalem did too

At news of a King new

He called the chief priests and the sctibes

Said, Unto me describe

Where Christ should be born, now do say

And tell us all this day

They said, In Bethlehem, Judea

There He shall be found clear

For prophet Micah* said, For you

Bethlehem are blessed true

You be a town in Judah's land

Are not least, but town grand

Among the princes you are great

One of royal estate

For out of you shall come, 'tis sure

A Governor, Ruler

Shall rule my people Israel

Good tidings now to tell

* Micah 5 v.2
