1. Here We Come A-Caroling D or: Here We Come a-Wassailing English 1. Here we come a-caroling (or: a-wassailing), Among the leaves so green; Here we come a-wandering, So fair to be seen. (Refrain) Love and joy come to you, And to you glad Christmas, too. And God bless you and send you A happy new year, And God send you a happy new year.
That beg from door to door, But we are neighbors’ children Whom you have seen before. 3. God bless the master of this house, Likewise the mistress, too, And all the little children That ‘round the table go. 4. And all your kin and kinsfolk That dwell both far and near, I wish you Merry Christmas And Happy New Year. 2. What Child Is This? Am William Dix, ca. 1865 17th century English air 1. What Child is this, who, laid to rest On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping. This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him laud The Babe, the son of Mary. 2. Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through, The Cross be borne, for me, for you. Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, The Babe, the son of Mary. 3. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant, king, to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high The Virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born The Babe, the Son of Mary. 3. We Three Kings of Orient Are Am John H. Hopkins, 1857 1. We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts, we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O, star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright. Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. 2. Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again. King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. 3. Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh. Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship Him, God most high. 4. Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorr’wing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone cold tomb. 5. Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice, Alleluia, Alleluia, Earth to the heav’ns replies. 4. The Twelve Days Of Christmas English D 1. On the first day of Christmas My true love sent to me A partridge in a pear tree.

Coventry Carol Em Words: Robert Croo 1534 Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child, By, by, lully, lullay. Lullay, Thou little tiny Child, By, by, lully, lullay. O sisters too, how may we do, For to preserve this day This poor Youngling for Whom we sing By, by, lully, lullay? Herod the king, in his raging, Charged he hath this day His men of might, in his own sight, All young children to slay. Then woe is me, poor Child for Thee! And ever mourn and say; For Thy parting, nor say nor sing, By, by, lully, lullay. 6. The Huron Carol (Wendat: Jesous Ahatonhia) Em Jean de Brebeuf, ca. 1643/Trans. by Jesse Edgar Middleton, 1926; Music: French Canadian melody 1. ‘Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead; Before their light the stars grew dim and wandering hunters heard the hymn, Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria.
the tender babe was found; A ragged robe of rabbit skin enwrapped his beauty round But as the hunter braves drew nigh the angel song rang loud and high Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria. 3. The earliest moon of wintertime is not so round and fair As was the ring of glory on the helpless infant there. The chiefs from far before him knelt with gifts of fox and beaver pelt. Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria. 4. O children of the forest free, O seed of Manitou The holy Child of earth and heaven is born today for you. Come kneel before the radiant boy who brings you beauty peace and joy. Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria. 7.
