Lyrics
(Music by Mildred J. Hill, Lyrics from the Swedish of Z. Toppelius, by Emilie Poulsson)
1. All frosty cold stands Christmas
At Winter’s snowy gate,
“Good people may I not come in?
The year is growing late.”
Refrain
“Yes, come, dear dear Christmas!
Yes come, dear dear Christmas!”
2. “My baskets are so heavy
With gifts for young and old,
Dear children, quickly let me in,
I shiver with the cold.” Refrain
3. “I bring,” says dear old Christmas,
“The fir tree and the pine,”
I bring the lighted candles too,
Among their boughs to shine.” Refrain
