Wexford Carol

Das 'Wexford Carol' (auch: Enniscorthy Carol, Carul Loch Garman, Carul Inis Corthaidh) ist ein traditionelles irisches Weihnachtslied.


Die Geschichte vom 'Wexford Carol'

Das 'Wexford Carol' stammt aus dem County Wexford (Irland).


Das 'Wexford Carol' ist eines der ältesten Weihnachtslieder Europas und stammt aus dem Mittelalter, eventuell schon aus dem 12. Jh.


William Grattan Flood (1859 bis 1928), der Organist der St. Aidan's Cathedral in Enniscorthy, veröffentlichte es im 'Oxford Book of Carols'.


'Wexford Carol' Liedtext

Good people all, this Christmas time,

Consider well and bear in mind

What our good God for us has done

In sending his beloved son

With Mary holy we should pray,

To God with love this Christmas Day

In Bethlehem upon that morn,

There was a blessed Messiah born.


The night before that happy tide,

The noble Virgin and her guide

Were long time seeking up and down

To find a lodging in the town.

But mark right well what came to pass

From every door repelled, alas,

As was foretold, their refuge all

Was but a humble ox's stall.

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep

Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep

To whom God's angel did appear

Which put the shepherds in great fear

Arise and go, the angels said

To Bethlehem, be not afraid

For there you'll find, this happy morn

A princely babe, sweet Jesus, born.


With thankful heart and joyful mind

The shepherds went the babe to find

And as God's angel had foretold

They did our Saviour Christ behold

Within a manger he was laid

And by his side a virgin mai

Attending on the Lord of Life

Who came on earth to end all strife.

There were three wise men from afar

Directed by a glorious star

And on they wandered night and day

Until they came where Jesus lay

And when they came unto that place

Where our beloved Messiah lay

They humbly cast them at his feet

With gifts of gold and incense sweet.
