We are the carol singers
Who sing carols as we
go
We sing in any weather
In rain or wind or
snow
At every house or
cottage
That stands upon the
lane
We proudly sing a
carol
In snow or wind or
rain
We are the carol
singers
We never feel
chagrined
As we proudly sing
together
In snow or rain or
wind
We shake the tin for
charity
Singing carols as we
go
We are the carol
singers
In rain or wind or
snow
With open arms I welcome Christmas
I embrace its merriment
and mirth
With open heart I
welcome Christmas
To celebrate the
Christ Childs birth
The shepherds rested in the firelight
When they were woken
on a still clear night
By heavens choir
hastening them
To go forth unto
Bethlehem
The heavenly choir
Sang of Gods desire
To give the world his
son
His one and only one
The choir continued to
sing
And announced the
birth of a king
