343. Carol, brothers, Carol

Chorus:
Carol, brothers carol,
Carol joyfully,
Carol the good tidings,
Carol merrily,
And pray a gladsome Christmas
For all good Christmas 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 altar 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"
All the world around, [Chorus]
