2. And thus within the garden he 4. Now mark the goodness of the Lord
Was set, therein to stay: Which he to mankind bore;
And in commandment unto him His mercy soon he did extend,
These words the Lord did say: Lost man for to restore:
"The fruit which in the garden grows And therefore to redeem our souls
To thee shall be for meat, From death and hellish thrall,
Except the tree in midst thereof, He said his own dear Son should be
Of which thou shalt not eat: The Saviour of us all:
Now let good Christians all begin Now let good Christians all begin
A holier life to live, A holier life to live,
And to rejoice and merry be, And to rejoice and merry be,
For this is Christmas Eve. For this is Christmas Eve.

3. "For in the day thou shalt it touch, 5. And now the tide is nigh at hand,
Or do it then come nigh, In which our Saviour came;
And if that thou dost eat thereof, Let us rejoice and merry be
Then thou shalt surely die." In keeping of the same:
But Adam he did take no heed Let's feed the poor and hungry souls,
Unto that only thing, And such as do it crave;
But did transgress God's holy law, And when we die, in heaven we
And so was wrapt in sin: Our sure reward shall have:
Now let good Christians all begin Now let good Christians all begin
A holier life to live, A holier life to live,
And to rejoice and merry be, And to rejoice and merry be,
For this is Christmas Eve. For this is Christmas Eve.
