Arwn i Fethlem

Let's go to Bethle'm go with longing

And with cheerful Carols thronging,

To get sight of that Babe precious,

With whose Birth this day did bless us.

2. Let's go to Bethl'em! by this travel

We shall see the greatest marvel:

God himself a Man commences,

To die for his Folk's offences.

3. Let's go view whom Daniel mention'd

Calling him of days the Ancient; . . .
