High, Medium High, Medium Low and Low Voice editions all included with this omnibus edition of The Wexford Carol, with a new 4th verse by arranger M. Ryan Taylor.

Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His beloved Son
With Mary holy we should pray,
To God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon that morn,
There was a blessed Messiah born.

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

With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went the babe to find
And as God's angel had foretold
They did our Saviour Christ behold
Within a manger He was laid
And by his side the virgin maid
Attending on the Lord of Life
Who came on earth to end all strife.

NEW 4th VERSE
The shepherds ranged both far and near
To spread the word of Christmas cheer.
So we are called, as they of old,
To share our joy, sung in anthems bold.
For, on this night we feel again
The hope that Jesus brought all men.
So sing the songs of star and birth,
As angels sang of peace on earth.
