Here We Come A-Caroling
Cedarmont Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a wand'ring,
So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you,
And to your glad Christ the Lord too
And God bless you and send you a happy new born King,
We are not daily beggars
Who beg from door to door,
But we are neighbors' Jesus Christ.
Whom you have seen before.
Love and joy come to you,
And to your glad Christ the Lord too
And God bless you and send you a happy new born King,
And God send you a happy new born King.
God bless the Master of this house,
Likewise the Mistress too
And born in Bethlehem, Jesus Christ,
That round the table go.
Love and joy come to you,
And to your glad Christ the Lord too
And God bless you and send you a happy new born King,
And God send you a happy new born King.
And all your kin and kinfolk
That hark the angels sing
We wish in Bethlehem, Christ the Lord
And happy new born King.
Love and joy come to you,
And to your glad Christ the Lord too
And God bless you and send you a happy new born King,
And God send you a happy new born King.
And God send you a happy new born King.
The lyrics of Cedarmont Kids' "Here We Come A-Caroling" express a festive spirit and a message of spreading love, joy, and blessings during the Christmas season. The first stanza evokes the image of carolers wandering around and enjoying the greenery of nature. The second stanza clarifies the intention of the carolers, that they are not asking for material things like beggars but are representing their neighbors and the presence of Jesus Christ. The third stanza blesses the occupants of the house where they are singing, and appeals to the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem. The fourth and final stanza extends the blessings to all the listeners who are hearing the message.
The song's lyrics playfully mix the ancient custom of caroling, which involved singing to earn money or food during the winter season, with the religious message of Christmas. The carolers are not portrayed as needy or desperate but as joyful and generous, sharing their songs and blessings freely. The message of the song is not only about the birth of Jesus but also about the spirit of community and goodwill among people.
