THE WREN
Trad arr Rusby & O’Kane
Joy, health love and peace
Be all here in this place
By your leave we will sing
Concerning our king
Our king is well dressed
In clothes of the best
In ribbons so rare
No king can compare
We have travelled many miles
Over hedges and stiles
In search of our king
Unto you we bring
We have powder and shot
To conquer the lot
We have cannon and ball
To conquer them all
Joy, health love and peace
Be all here in this place
By your leave we will sing
Concerning our king
Oh Christmas is passed
Twelfth tide in the last
And we bid you adieu
Great joy to the new
And we bid you adore
Great joy to the new
