Mummer's Carol



A Glorious angel from heaven came unto the Virgin Maid
Strange News and tidings of great joy
the humble Mary had
the humble Mary had

Each mortal man remembers well
When Christ came down from Heaven
'Twas for our sins and wicked ways
His precious blood was given
His precious blood was given

Each mortal man remembers well
When Christ was put to scorn
He was taken to the judgement seat
and crowned with the thorn
and crowned with the thorn

Each mortal man remembers well
When Christ our Saviour died
He was crucified upon the tree
With theives on either side
With theives on either side

Each mortal man remembers well
When Christ died on the rood
'Twas for our sins and wicked ways
Christ shed his precious blood
Christ shed his precious blood

Each mortal man remembers well
When Christ was wrapped in clay
He was taken to a sepulchre
Where never man did lay
Where never man did lay

God bless your house, your children too
Your cattle and your store
The Lord increase you day by day
And give you more and more
And give you more and more
