Carol, Brothers, Carol Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Carol, brothers, carol, carol joyfully,
Carol the good tidings, carol merrily;
And pray a gladsome Christmas
For all good Christian men.
Carol, brothers, carol, Christmas Day again.

1. Carol, but with gladness,
Not in songs of earth;
On the Saviour's birthday
Hallowed be our mirth;
While a thousand blessings
Fill our hearts with glee,
Christmas day we'll keep,
The Feast of Charity. [Chorus]

2. At the merry table,
Think of those who've none,
The orphan and the widow
Hungry and alone.
Bountiful your offerings
To the alter bring;
Let the poor and needy
Christmas carols sing. [Chorus]

3. Listening angel music,
Discord sure must cease -
Who dare hate his brother
On this day of peace?
While the heavens are telling
To mankind good will,
Only love and kindness
Every bosom fill. [Chorus]

4. Let our hearts, responding
To the seraph band,
With this morning's sunshine
Bright in every land:
Word, and deed, and prayer
Speak the grateful sound,
Telling "Merry Christmas"
Al the World around. [Chorus]
