Lyrics
(English folk tune, Lyrics by Cordelia Brooks Fenno)
1. On the ground the snowflakes glisten,
This is the Eve of Christmas;
Bells are chiming as we listen,
This is the Eve of Christmas;
The icicles hang above our heads,
And this is the Eve of Christmas.
2. In the sky the stars are gleaming,
Stars of a happy Yuletide;
See how bright their rays are beaming,
Light of a happy Yuletide.
So hang up your stockings, great and small.
For this is the Eve of Yuletide.
