Description
A very fetching and fun arrangement of the favorite Welsh carol. SATB (divisi on final chord) and organ. Note: this is the old, traditional, original, pre-Prohibition text.
Lyrics
Deck the hall with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la.
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la.
Fill the mead cup, drain the barrel,
Fa la la la.
Troll the ancient Christmas carol,
Fa la la la.
See the flowing bowl before us,
Fa la la la.
Strike the harp, and join the chorus,
Fa la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la.
While I sing of beauty's treasure,
Fa la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la.
Laughing, quaffing, all together,
Fa la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la.
