 <br />
 <br />
 Recorded at Church of Our Lady, Guelph<br />
 Lroeena McKennitt: vocals, harp, accordion<br />
 Shannon Purves-Smith: Viols<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 All hail to the days that merit more praise<br />
 Than all the rest of the year,<br />
 And welcome the nights that double delights<br />
 As well for the poor as the peer!<br />
 Good fortune attend each merry man`s friend<br />
 That doth but the best that he may,<br />
 Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs<br />
 To drive the cold winter away.<br />
 <br />
 Tis ill for a mind to anger inclined<br />
 to think of small injuries now,<br />
 If wrath be to seek, do not lend her your cheek<br />
 Nor let her inhabit thy brow.<br />
 Cross out of thy books malevolent looks<br />
 Both beauty and youth`s decay,<br />
 And wholly consort with mirth and sport<br />
 To drive the cold winter away.<br />
 <br />
 This time of the year is spent in good cheer,<br />
 and neighbours together do meet,<br />
 to sit by the fire, with friendly desire,<br />
 Each other in love to greet.<br />
 Old grudges forgot are put in the pot,<br />
 All sorrows aside they lay;<br />
 The old and the young doth carol this song,<br />
 to drive the cold winter away.<br />
 <br />
 When Christmas`s tide comes in like a bride,<br />
 With holly and ivy clad,<br />
 Twelve days in the year much mirth and good cheer<br />
 In every household is had.<br />
 The country guise is then to devise<br />
 Some gambols of Christmas play,<br />
 Whereat the young men do best that they can<br />
 To drive the cold winter away.<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/in_praise_of_christmas_lyrics-loreena_mckennitt.html" target='_blank'>IN PRAISE OF CHRISTMAS lyrics LOREENA MCKENNITT</a></pre>

Traditional English (eighteenth century)

Recorded at Church of Our Lady, Guelph
Lroeena McKennitt: vocals, harp, accordion
Shannon Purves-Smith: Viols

All hail to the days that merit more praise
Than all the rest of the year,
And welcome the nights that double delights
As well for the poor as the peer!
Good fortune attend each merry man`s friend
That doth but the best that he may,
Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs
To drive the cold winter away.

Tis ill for a mind to anger inclined
to think of small injuries now,
If wrath be to seek, do not lend her your cheek
Nor let her inhabit thy brow.
Cross out of thy books malevolent looks
Both beauty and youth`s decay,
And wholly consort with mirth and sport
To drive the cold winter away.

This time of the year is spent in good cheer,
and neighbours together do meet,
to sit by the fire, with friendly desire,
Each other in love to greet.
Old grudges forgot are put in the pot,
All sorrows aside they lay;
The old and the young doth carol this song,
to drive the cold winter away.

When Christmas`s tide comes in like a bride,
With holly and ivy clad,
Twelve days in the year much mirth and good cheer
In every household is had.
The country guise is then to devise
Some gambols of Christmas play,
Whereat the young men do best that they can
To drive the cold winter away.
