New Year’s Eve

 

New Year’s Eve

A joyous song for today, ‘Deck the hall with boughs of holly’. It is sung by the Choir of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. 

 

Deck the hall with boughs of holly,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
'Tis the season to be jolly:
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Troll the ancient Christmas carol.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

See the flowing bowl before us,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Strike the harp, and join in chorus:
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
While I sing of beauty's treasure.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

                        Fast away the old year passes,
                        Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
                        Hail the new, ye lads and lasses:
                        Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
                        Laughing quaffing all together,
                        Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
                        Heedless of the wind and weather.
                        Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

 

Happy New Year and may 2024 bring peace and good health and happiness.
