A Christmas Carol.
25
If, o'er all the country,
Icy cold the dawn,
Sing the Christmas carol,
Hail to Christmas morn!
Icy cold the dawn,
Sing the Christmas carol,
Hail to Christmas morn!
Yes, e'en though the weather
Cold and colder grow,
In our homes the yule-logs
Bright and brighter glow.
Cold and colder grow,
In our homes the yule-logs
Bright and brighter glow.
Christmas song and story,
Christmas feast and cheer,
Ring the happy joy-bells,
Day of all the year!
Christmas feast and cheer,
Ring the happy joy-bells,
Day of all the year!
Weave the Christmas garland,
Bind the mistletoe,
Holly leaves and berries:—
Lay the hemlocks low.
Bind the mistletoe,
Holly leaves and berries:—
Lay the hemlocks low.
Day when Eastern wise men
Sought the humble shed,
And before the Christ-child
Lowly bowed the head.
Sought the humble shed,
And before the Christ-child
Lowly bowed the head.
