The lord at first did adam make

Out of the dust and clay

And in his nostrils breathed life

Even as the scriptures day

And then in eden's paradise

He placed him to dwell

That he within it should remain

To dress and keep it well

Now let good christians all begin

An holy life to live

And to rejoice and merry be

For this is christmas eve

And then within the garden he

Was commanded to stay

And unto him in commandment

These words the lord did say

The fruit which in the garden grows

To thee shall be for meet

Except the tree in the midst thereof

Of which thou shalt not east

Now let good christians all begin

An holy life to live

And to rejoice and merry be

For this is christmas eve

For in the day that shalt eat

Or do it them come nigh

For if that thou doth eat thereof

Then surely thou shalt die

But adam he did take no heed

Unto that only thing

But did transgress god's holy law

And so was wrapt in sin

Now let good christians all begin

An holy life to live

And to rejoice and merry be

For this is christmas eve

Now mark the goodness of the lord

Which he for mankind bore

His mercy soon he did extend

Lost man for to restore

And then for to redeem our souls

From death and hellish thrall

He said his own dear son should be

The saviour of us all

Now let good christians all begin

An holy life to live

And to rejoice and merry be

For this is christmas eve
