Terly, terlow

Terly, terlow.

So merrily the shepherds began to blow.

About the field they piped full right.

lt was the middle of the night

Adown from Heaven there came a light.

Angels there came a company

With merry songs and melody.

The shepherds anon 'gan them espy.

The shepherds hied them to Bethlehem

To see that blessed Sonnebeam,

And there they found the world's Lightstream.

Now pray we to that young meek Child

And to His Mother fair and mild

Whose maidenhood was ne'er defiled.
