Come, All Friends, And Keep The Feast Lyrics

1. Come, all friends, and keep the Feast,
From the highest to the least;
Young and old, and rich and poor,
Open stands the Church's door;
One and all, with joy and mirth,
Join to keep the Saviour's Birth.

[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, good news we tell;
Christ is born,
Noel, Noel, Noel.
Noel, Noel, good news we tell;
Christ is born,
Noel, Noel, Noel.

2. Hark! the merry Christmas chime
Welcomes in the blessed time;
And the organ's mighty strain
Rattles every window-pane,
While the roof and rafters ring
With the people's caroling. [Chorus]

3. On the holy altar's shrine
Christmas tapers gleam and shine;
High on arch and chancel screen
Hang the Christmas garlands green;
Christmas banners as they wave
Bear the [Chorus] down the nave: [Chorus]

4. Earth may smile with sunshine bright,
Wintry snow lie cold and white;
Lowering clouds may pour their rain,
Bleak winds howl across the plain -
Cloud or sunshine, calm or storm,
Christmas joy all hearts must warm. [Chorus]
