lyrics

"The Darkest Midnight"

The darkest midnight in December, no snow nor hail nor winter storm
Shall hinder us for to remember the babe that on this night was born.
With shepherds we are come to see this lovely infant's glorious charms.
Born of a maid as the prophets said the God of love in Mary's arms.

Have you not heard the sacred story, how man was made those seats to fill
Which the fallen angels lost in glory, through their presumption, pride, and will.
They thought us mean for to obtain such glorious seats and crowns in heaven.
So through a cheat they go Eve to eat the fruit to be avenged on man.

Ye blessed angels join our voices, let your gilded wings beat fluttering o'er
While every soul set free rejoices and every devil must adore.
We'll sing and pray that God always may our friends and family defend.
God grant us grace in all our days, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
