HERE WE COME A-WASSAILING

Here we come a wassailing among the leaves so green Here we come a wandering so fair to be seen

(chorus)

Love and joy come to you And to you your wassail too

And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year And God send you a Happy New Year

A wassail cup is made up of rosemary tree

And so is your beer of the best barley

(chorus)

We are not daily beggars, that beg from door to door But we are neighbour’s children, whom you have seen before

(chorus)

Call up the butler of this house, put on his golden ring

Let him bring us up a glass of beer and better we shall sing

(chorus)

We have got a little glass of stretching leather skin We want a little of your money to line it well within

(chorus)

Bring us up to table and spread it with a cloth

Bring us out some mouldy cheese and some of your Christmas log

(chorus)

God bless the master of this house, likewise the Mistress too And all the little children, that round the table go

(chorus)

Good master rang good Mistress while your sitting by the fire Pray think of us small children who are wandering in the mire

(chorus - repeat)

GOOD KING WENCESLAS

Good King Wenceslas last looked out, on the Feast of Stephen When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel

‘Hither page and stand by me, if thou know’st it telling

Yonder peasant who is he?, Where and what his dwelling?’ ‘Sire his lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain

Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes fountain.’

Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine-logs hither Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither

Page and monarch forth they went, forth they went together Through the rude wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather

‘Sire the night is darker now and the wind blows stronger

Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer’ ‘Mark my footsteps good my page, tread thou in them boldly Thou shalt find the winter’s rage, freeze thy blood less coldly’

In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted

Heat was in the very sod, which the saint had printed Therefore Christian men be sure, wealth or rank possessing

Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing

13


THE HOLLY AND THE IVY

The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown

Of all the trees that are in the wood The holly bears the crown

(chorus)

Oh the rising of the sun And the running of the deer

The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir

The holly bears the blossom

It’s white as the lily flower And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To be our sweet saviour

(chorus)

The holly bears a berry As red as any blood

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good

(chorus)

The holly bears a prickle

As sharp as any thorn And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

On Christmas day in the morn

(chorus)

The holly bears a bark As bitter as any gall

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all

(chorus)

14


IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone Snow had fallen snow snow, snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter, long ago

Our God heaven cannot hold him, nor Earth sustain Heaven and Earth shall flee away, when he comes to reign

In the bleak midwinter, a stable place sufficed The Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ

What can I give him, poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb If I were a wise man, I would do my part Yet what can I give him, give my heart

15


GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born

When I was a learner

I sought by night and day I asked God to lead me

And he showed me the way



Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born

He made me a watchman

Upon a city wall And if I am a Christian

I am the least of all



Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born

Jesus Christ is born Jesus Christ is born Jesus Christ is born

16


THE FIRST NOEL

The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winters night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them afar

And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night



And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country afar

To seek for a King was their intent And to follow the star wherever it went



This star drew nigh to the northwest O'er Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay



Then entered in those Wise men three Fall reverently upon their knee

And offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense



17


THE FIRST NOEL (Continued)

Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made Heaven and earth of nought And with his blood mankind have bought



18


GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN

God rest you merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay

For Jesus Christ our Saviour Was born upon this day

To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father

A blessed Angel came And unto certain Shepherds Brought tidings of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by Name


The shepherds at these tidings

Rejoiced much in mind And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind

And went to Bethlehem straightway The Blessed Babe to find


But when to Bethlehem they came

Where our dear Saviour lay They found Him in a manger

Where oxen feed on hay His Mother Mary kneeling

Unto the Lord did pray O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises All you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmas All others doth deface


19


IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

It came upon the midnight clear That glorious song of old

From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold

"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men From heavens all eternal King!" The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled

And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world

Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing

And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing

And here beneath life's crushing load

Whose forms are bending low Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow Look now, for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing Oh rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing

20


HOW FAR IS IT TO BETHLEHEM?

How far is it to Bethlehem, not very far Shall we find the stable room lit by a star Can we see the little Child is He within? If we lift a wooden latch may we go in?

May we stroke the creatures there ox, ass or sheep

May we bleep like them and see Jesus asleep If we touch His tiny hand will He awake

Will he know we’ve come so far just for His sake

Great gifts and precious gifts and we have not Little smiles and little tears are all we’ve brought

For all weary children Mary must lead Here on His bed of straw sleep children sleep Caught in His mother’s arms Babe's in a barn

Sleep as they sleep who find their hearts desire
