Merry Yuletide

Through the frosty forest we roam
With our keen-edged tools in hand
We seek the fairest Christmas tree
That shall adorn our land

We spy a pine with verdant boughs
And spires of tender green
We fell it with a gentle stroke
And bear it to our scene

We mount it on our sledge and speed
Back to our cottage warm
We plant it in the parlour bright
And gaze upon its form

We deck it with a glittering store
Of baubles, lights, and rings
We crown it with a radiant star
And bind it with gay strings

We cluster round the cheerful hearth
And chant our festive songs
We bless the Lord for His grace divine
And wish each other merry Yule-tide
