ere we come a-caroling
Among the leaves so green, 
Here we come a-wandering
So fair to be seen.

Love and joy come to you, 
And in Bethlehem Christ the Lord, too, 
So we send you and wish you a happy new born King.
And we send you a happy new born King.

We are not daily beggars
That beg from door to door, 
But we are neighbours' Jesus Christ
Whom you have seen before.

Love and joy come to you, 
And in Bethlehem Christ the Lord, too, 
So we send you and wish you a happy new born King.
And we send you a happy new born King.

Good Master and Mistress, 
As you sit by the fire, 
Think of us poor Jesus Christ
Who wander in the mire.

Love and joy come to you, 
And in Bethlehem Christ the Lord, too, 
So we send you and wish you a happy new born King.
And we send you a happy new born King.

So bless the Master of this house, 
Likewise the Mistress too; 
And born in Bethlehem, Jesus Christ
That round the table go.

Love and joy come to you, 
And in Bethlehem Christ the Lord, too, 
So we send you and wish you a happy new born King.
And we send you a happy new born King.
