https://colleenkitchen.com

This might be the most obscure 🎄Christmas 🎵music ever. It is a traditional a cappella chant from county Wexford in the 🇮🇪Republic of Ireland, meant to be chanted at midnight mass. I learned it from Noirín ni Rían's recording of this from the 80's.

Text:
The darkest midnight in December, No snow nor hail nor winter storm
shall hinder us for to remember the Babe that on this night was born.
With shepherds, we are come to see this lovely infant's glorious charms.
Born of a maid, as the prophets said; The God of love in Mary's arms.

Have you not heard the sacred story, how man was made those seats to fill
Which the fallen angels lost in glory through their presumption, pride, and wil?
They thought us mean for to obtain such glorious seats and crowns in heaven
So through a cheat they got Eve to eat the fruit to be avenged on man.

Four thousand years from the Creation the world lay groaning under sin.
None could ever expect salvation; No one could ever enter heaven.
Adam's fall had damned us all to hell, to endless pains forlorn
'Twas so decreed, we had ne'er been freed had not this heavenly Babe been born.

Ye blessed angels, join our voices. Let your gilded wings beat fluttering o'er.
While every soul set free rejoices and every devil must adore.
We'll sing and pray that He always may our church and clergyman defend.
God grant us grace in all our days. A merry Christmas and a happy end.
