Masters in This Hall

Masters, in this hall hear ye news today
Brought from over sea, and ever I you pray
Coming o'er the hills, through the milk-white snow
Heard I ewes bleat, while the wind did blow

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we cheerfully
Hope and all our folk on earth
Born is God's Son so dearly
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we loud
God today hath born for praise
And cast a-down the proud

Shepherds many and one sat among the sheep
No man spake more word than they had been asleep
Quoth one fellow smilе, "Why, the sky's so dеep
Make ye but all cheer, shepherds though ye be"

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we cheerfully
Hope and all our folk on earth
Born is God's Son so dearly
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we loud
God today hath born for praise
And cast a-down the proud

Shepherds sure of right make bandanns and sing
Thus to sing ye see, is a right strange thing
Quoth these fellows then, "To Bethlehem we go
To see our mighty Lord, lie in manger low"

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we cheerfully
Hope and all our folk on earth
Born is God's Son so dearly
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we loud
God today hath born for praise
And cast a-down the proud

Ox and ass and doe, kneeling on their knee
Wondrous joy alike, this little Babe to see
This is Christ the Lord, blessed be He man
Christmas is come in, and no folk should be sad

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we cheerfully
Hope and all our folk on earth
Born is God's Son so dearly
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sing we loud
God today hath born for praise
And cast a-down the proud

Noel, Noel
God today hath born for praise
And cast a-down the proud
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel, Noel
God today hath born for praise
And cast a-down the proud
