Steve Alexander - Wexford Carol Lyrics

Ó, tagaig' uile is adhraigí
An leanbh cneasta sa chró 'na luí
Is cuimhnígí ar ghrá an Rí
A thug dár saoradh anocht an Naí

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear

Arise and go, the angels said
To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus born

There were three wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star
And on they wandered night and day
Until they came where Jesus lay

And on they came unto that place
Where our beloved Messiah was
They humbly laid at his feet
Their gifts of gold and incense sweet
