| Hark! the bells are sounding, | Welcome to our pleasures |
| Christmas draweth nigh; | And our Christmas cheer! |
| Now let joy abounding, | We'll not stint the measures, |
| Bid all sorrow fly. | Would you all were here! |
Ye who pine in sorrow, | Boys and girls together— |
| Come be cheer'd to-day; | From all parts and climes, |
| Of our gladness borrow, | To enjoy this weather, |
| As you freely may. | And these Christmas times! |
