Lyrics
I hear along our street
Pass the minstrel throngs:
Hark! they play so sweet, on their oboes, Christmas songs!
Let us by the fire Ever, ever higher,
Let us ever higher Sing them till the night expire!
In December ring Everyday the chimes,
Loud the gleemen sing In the streets their merry, merry rhymes.
Shepherds at the grange Where the Babe was born,
Sang with many a change Christmas carols until morn.
Who by the fire-side stands Stamps his feet and sings;
But he who blows his hands Not so gay a carol brings.
