I have quoted the final two lines in each of the four stanzas below from "The Holly and the Ivy," a fifteenth-century English carol.
From the letters of
The name December can be
Formed the word redeem.
"And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour."
From the letters of
The name December can be
Formed the word redeem.
"And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good."
From the letters of
The name December can be
Formed the word redeem.
"And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas in the morn."
From the letters of
The name December can be
Formed the word redeem.
"And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all."
From the Holy Bible, King James Version
