Irish Christmas
Is there any other way to make Christmas and Irish Christmas than with sterling silver Irish jewelry? Let's look at Irish jewelry as a excellent Christmas gift giving idea. While we are doing that let's look at an old Irish Christmas Carol called THE WEXORD CAROL. Let's look at the lyrics, all five verses:
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 how all things came to
pass;
From every door repelled alas!
As long foretold, their refuge
all
Was but an humble ox's stall.
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 was,
They humbly cast them at his
feet,
With gifts of gold and incense sweet.
Near Bethlehem did
shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep;
To whom God's
angels did appear,
Which put the shepherds in great fear.
"Prepare and
go", the angles 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 savior Christ behold.
Within a manger he
was laid,
And by his side the virgin maid,
Attending on the Lord of
life,
Who came on earth to end all strife.
Along with singing Irish Christmas carols give the sweet and lucky gift of sterling silver Irish jewelry.
