Now the ground is white Go it while you' re young, Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bobtailed bay Two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you' ll take the lead.

2. They lookèd up and saw a star, Shining in the east beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night: Refrain: 3. And by the light of that same star, Three Wise Men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wheresoever it went: Refrain: 4. This star drew nigh tothe northwest; O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay: Refrain: 5. Then did they know assuredly Within that house the King did lie: One entered in then for to see, And found the Babe in poverty: Refrain: 6. Then entered in those Wise Men three, Fell reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence Both gold and myrrh and frankincense: Refrain: 7. Between an ox-stall and an ass This Child truly there born He was; For want of clothing they did Him lay All in the manger, among the hay: Refrain: 8. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord, That hath made heav'n and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought: Refrain: 9. If we in our time shall do well, We shall be free from death and hell; For God hath preparèd for us all A resting place in general: Refrain:
