Wassail Bough
- H. M. Bower
Here we come a-wassailing, among the leaves of green;
Here we come a-wandering, so fairly to be seen.
Our jolly wassail, our jolly wassail,
Love and joy come to you and to our wassail bough;
Pray God bless you, and send you a happy New Year.
We are not daily beggars, that beg from door to door;
We are the neighbours' children, whom you have seen before.
Our jolly wassail, our jolly wassail,
Love and joy come to you and to our wassail bough;
Pray God bless you, and send you a happy New Year.
I have a little purse, it is made of leather skin;
I want a little sixpence, to line it well within.
Our jolly wassail, our jolly wassail,
Love and joy come to you and to our wassail bough;
Pray God bless you, and send you a happy New Year.
Bring us out the table, and spread it with the cloth;
Bring us out the bread and cheese, and a bit of your Christmas loaf.
Our jolly wassail, our jolly wassail,
Love and joy come to you and to our wassail bough;
Pray God bless you, and send you a happy New Year.
God bless the master of this house, and the mistress too;
Also the little children, which round the table grew.
Our jolly wassail, our jolly wassail,
Love and joy come to you and to our wassail bough;
Pray God bless you, and send you a happy New Year.
We Three Kings of Orient Are
- John Henry Hopkins, Jr.
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.
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Frankincense to offer have I.
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume
Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
- English Traditional, 16th Century
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!
We want some figgy pudding
We want some figgy pudding
We want some figgy pudding
Please bring it right here!
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
So bring it out here!
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!

Welcome all who's far and near
Welcome, Christmas, Welcome Here
- Miss Mary Ann Stodart
Welcome, Christmas, welcome here,
Happiest season of the year.
Fires are blazing, thee to greet:
Families together meet.
Brothers, sisters, circle round,
Loud is gladness' festive sound.
For Old England loves to see
All her children welcome thee.
Welcome, Christmas, for thy voice
Calls upon us to rejoice,
Not with foolish idle mirth,
Born and perishing on earth:
Far be such ungrateful thought;
Ours are blessings dearly bought,
Dearly bought, but freely given
By the Lord of earth and heaven.
Fix we then on Christ our eye;
May we feel the Saviour nigh:
May we meet around the born,
All rejoicing in the Lord;
Be the Babe of Beth'em near,
May his love the season cheer,
And each gladen'd heart and tongue
Join the Angels' Christmas Song.
We've Decked The Church With Ivy
- Author Unknown, Score - J. S. B. Hodges, D. D.
We’ve decked the Church with Ivy,
And holly branches gay,
We’ve wreathed the shining laurel
‘Round font and pillars grey;
And now we come right gladly
To join the angel strain,
Of peace on earth, and glory
To God again.
A merry, merry Christmas,
The Church bells ring,
A joyful, joyful Christmas,
We children sing
For Christ was born at Christmas,
Our Saviour King.
On that first blessed Christmas
The wise men we’ve been told,
Brought gifts to the Child Jesus,
Myrrh, frankincense and gold;
And we, though little children,
Have love as deep as they,
And long to bring some off’ring
This Christmas Day.
A merry, merry Christmas,
The Church bells ring,
A joyful, joyful Christmas,
We children sing
For Christ was born at Christmas,
Our Saviour King.
We have no gold to bring Him,
No spices rare and sweet,
But He doth call the children,
So, kneeling at His feet,
We’ll give ourselves, dear Jesus,
And earnestly we’ll pray
To be kept very faithful
E’en from today.
A merry, merry Christmas,
The Church bells ring,
A joyful, joyful Christmas,
We children sing
For Christ was born at Christmas,
Our Saviour King.
What Child Is This
- William Chatterton Dix, Score - Sir John Stainer
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.
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own him.
the King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
