Lyrics
(William Augustus Muhlenberg, 1905)
Carol children, carol,
Carol joyfully,
Carol the good tidings,
Carol merrily.
And pray a gladsome Christmas
For all your fellow men
Carol children, carol,
Christmas Day again.
At the merry table,
Think of those who’ve none,
The orphan and the widow,
Hungry and alone,
Oh bountiful the offerings
You to the altar bring
For the poor and needy
Christmas carols sing.
