8It was early in one morning
That Mary did Him seek;
She saw two angels sitting
At Jesus's head and feet.
Mary shed tears while Christ appeared,
And He said: Why dost thou weep?
So God send you all a joyful New Year.
9God bless the ruler of this house
And send him long to reign;
Let many a happy New Year
Go over his head again,
And all his godly family
That serveth the Lord so dear.
So God send you all a joyful New Year.
10God bless the mistress of this house,
With gold all round her breast,
And, let her body be asleep or awake,
Lord send her soul to rest,
And all her godly family
That serveth the Lord so dear.
So God send you all a joyful New Year.
