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?
�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?
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,
�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?
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,
�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?
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?
�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?
