From Lady Starlight in ij

Here we come a-awassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wandering,
So fair to be seen:

Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you, and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.

God bless the master of this house,
Likewise the mistress too;
And all the little children
That round the table go:

Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you, and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.

Good master and good mistress,
While you're sitting by the fire,
Pray think of us poor children
Who wander in the mire:

Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you, and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.
