Here We Come A-Wassailing

Author: Anonymous Appears in 10 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Here we come a-wassailin Refrain First Line: Love and joy come to you Lyrics: 1 Here we come a-wassailing Among the leaves so green, Here we come a-wandering, So fair to be seen. Refrain: Love and joy come to you, And to you your wassail, too, And God bless you, and send you A happy new year, And God send you a happy new year. 2 We are not daily beggars That beg from door to door, But we are neighbors’ children Whom you have seen before. [Refrain] 3 Good Master and good Mistress, As you sit by the fire, Pray think of us poor children Who wander in the mire. [Refrain] 4 We have a little purse made Of ratching leather skin; We want some of your small change To line it well within. [Refrain] 5 Bring us out a table, And spread it with a cloth; Bring us a moldy cheese and Some of your Christmas loaf. [Refrain] 6 God bless the master of this house, Likewise the mistress, too; And all the little children That round the table go. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Here we come a-wassailing]
