What the
Christmas
WATT" Sing

CANTA CLAUS being about to de-
~ sert the city streets for his annual
reindeer ride over the roofs, the
waits" prepare to sing their centuries
old carols.
In several American cities has been
revived the beautiful old custom of the
waits" going about from house to
house singing the familiar old songs.
Light the Christmas candles In your
window If you want them to stop be-
fore your homel
God rest you merry, gentlemen; let
nothing you dtsntGy-
they will surely sing that, perhaps the
best known of all old English carols.
And this too:
Hdrkl The herald angels sing,
Glory to the nelob0rn king.
And, of course, 30 Little Town of
Bethlehem"
Perhaps, too, they will sing what is
said to be the earliest known Christ
mas carol, dating from the Anglo-Nor-
man days of the thirteenth century,
which begins:
LordlinOs, listen to our lay
We hare come from far dlody
To seek Christmas.
In this mansion zoe are told
He his yearly feGsts doth hold;
IT'S today!
Nay joy come from God above
| To all those aChO Christmas loUe.
This carol ends with the toast of
those days:
"Here, then, / bid you all wassail,
cursed be he who will not say drink
hail." Wassail" meaning your health
and "drinkhail" being the usual and
courteous acknowledgment.
One of the best known of all the old
carols, although not one of the oldest,
was written by Nahum Tate in 1903
and is called the "Song of the Angels"
1t begins:
While shepherds todtched their focks
by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came doton
And glory shone around.
Many are the carols in which Brit
aims ancient holly figures. "Then
drink to the holly berry," pledges one
writer of songs, while another in "Un-
der the Holy Bough" summons "All we
Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1917-12-06

who have scorned each other or injur-
ed friend or brother, come gather here"
And then there's that grand old hymn
"Adeste F1deles," sung in every church
IN this land and in others, at this
Christmas season:
on, come, all We faithful
JOYFUL ard triumphant
Come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem!
Christmas would not be Christmas,
of course. If the ''waits' were to neg
lect one other of the most beautiful of
old carols:
Holy night, peaceful night
Through the darkness beams q light.
Holy night, peaceful night
Through the darkness beams liDhti
Yonder, iohere they stoeet vigils Keep
Der the babe Uho, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace,
Rests in heavenly peace.
If there are any of you who have
In mind an after Christmas dinner even
ing of song TO the accompaniment of a
harpsichord, spinet, a lutte or a plano
OF even the modern and much adver-
tised disk machine, 1t might be well to
try this on the company:
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
Hdrki The herald angels sing,
Glory to the netoborn king;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners rcconciledi
Joyful. all We nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies.
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born IN Bethlehem.

Glory to the netoborn kingi
