The lamb that e’er the world began (Now carol we)

The lamb that e'er the world began

Was sacrificed for sin,

Which for to suck his mother's milk

This day did first begin.

Now carol us, and carol we,

And Hallelujah sing.

Peace be on earth, good will to men,

Glory to God our King.

The angels' joy pronounced his birth;

The shepherds ran to look;

A star did guide the pilgrimage

The wise men undertook.

Now carol us, and carol we,

And Hallelujah sing.

Peace be on earth, good will to men,

Glory to God our King.
