From far away we come to you
Snow in the streets and stars in the sky
We bear glad tidings of comfort and joy
Minstrels and maids sing "Hallelujah"
From distant lands we travel afar
We bear glad tidings hallelujah
The Savior is born in Bethlehem
We bear glad tidings hallelujah
"Joseph dearest, Joseph mine,
Help to cradle the child divine;
God reward thee and All that's thine
In paradise,"
So prays the mother Mary.
Mary holy, Mary mine
I will cradle the child divine
God's own Light on us both shall shine
In paradise
Oh prays the mother Mary
He came upon us at Christmas time
At Christmas time in Bethlehem
Minstrels in song and poets in rhyme
Shall praise the mother Mary
Wassail! Wassail! all over the town,
We'll drink you a toast may your fortune abound;
All hail to the ladies and sang to the men;
Then fill up your bowl and we'll wassail again.
Oh constable here's to the vigil you keep
Wassail to the children upstairs fast asleep:
To the landlord and travelers who stopped at the inn
Then fill up the bowl and we'll wassail again.
Wassail! Wassail! all over the town
Here's health to you always your fortunes abound
We drink to the season's and wish you good cheer
To all merry Christmas and a happy new year.
