To save poor souls from Satan's power,
That long have gone astray— Which brings tidings of comfort and joy,
Joy and joy,
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy.
​2The shepherds brought these tidings And rejoiced much in mind; They left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind. Straightway they went to Bethlehem The Son of God to find— Which brings tidings of comfort and joy, Joy and joy. Which brings tidings of comfort and joy.
3Straightway they went to Bethlehem, Where our sweet Saviour lay; They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed with hay; The Blessed Virgin Mary Kneeling to the Lord did pray— Which brings tidings of comfort and joy, Joy and joy, Which brings tidings of comfort and joy.
4God bless the Master of this house And Mis-ter-ess also; God bless the little children That round the table go; God bless their friends and kindred, That come from far and near; May the Lord send a happy New Year, Happy New Year, May the Lord send a happy New Year.
# English Folk-Carols

Cecil Sharp is widely considered the father of the first English folk-song revival, and in the early part of the 20th century travelled through England collecting examples of English folk music which he feared would soon be lost. His 1911 publication English Folk-Carols collects together 21 carols once performed in Southern England at Christmas and New Year, many of them unique survivals. Many of the texts in the collection are region-specific variations of now, or once-popular, carols which, through wider dissemination in books, were in danger of becoming standardised.
