MUMMERS CAROLE
A GLORIOUS ANGEL FROM HEAVEN CAME


A Glorious angel from heaven came
unto the Virgin Maid,
Strange News and tidings of great joy
the humble Mary had,
the humble Mary had.

Each mortal man remembers well,
When Christ came down from Heaven,
'Twas for our sins and wicked ways,
His precious blood was given,
His precious blood was given.

Each mortal man remembers well,
When Christ was put to scorn,
He was taken to the judgement seat,
and crowned with the thorn,
and crowned with the thorn.

Each mortal man remembers well,
When Christ our Saviour died,
He was crucified upon the tree,
With theives on either side,
With theives on either side.

Each mortal man remembers well,
When Christ died on the rood,
'Twas for our sins and wicked ways,
Christ shed his precious blood,
Christ shed his precious blood.

Each mortal man remembers well,
When Christ was wrapped in clay,
He was taken to a sepulchre,
Where never man did lay,
Where never man did lay.

God bless your house, your children too,
Your cattle and your store,
The Lord increase you day by day,
And give you more and more,
And give you more and more
