O, Sing We a Carol
Author: William Josiah Irons, 1812-1883 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5308 First Line: O, sing we a carol all blithe and free Refrain First Line: 'Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor Lyrics: 1. O, sing we a carol all blithe and free,
And fit for our Christmas morn,
For the world is as cold as the cold can be,
Though its Lord on this day was born;
Though its Lord on this day was born:
’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor,
And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door?
Refrain
’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor,
And who should be driven from a Christian’s door?
And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door?
2. For the angel’s song at the birth of Christ,
With tidings of joy began;
And it rang with a glory to God in the highest,
And a brotherhood true for man;
Yet ’twas winter time for rich and poor,
When the shepherds came to the stable door.
Yet ’twas winter time for the rich and poor, [Refrain]
3. True sages were they who to Bethlehem led,
Brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold,
Which they offered to Christ on His manger bed,
With a reverent love untold.
Yet ’twas winter time for rich and poor,
When the wise men knelt at the stable door.
Yet ’twas winter time for the rich and poor, [Refrain]
4. Cannot we make our offerings now to Christ’s need,
When His poor all around we see?
Inasmuch as to them we have done the deed,
He will say, Ye have done to Me.
He will say, Ye have done to Me.
’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor,
And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O, sing we a carol all blithe and free]
