CHRISTMAS.

Words by ALFRED SELWYN.[A] Music by T. CRAMPTON.

[Illustration: Music]

Treble clef lyrics: Bass clef lyrics:
Hark! the bells are sounding, Welcome to our pleasures
Christmas draweth nigh; And our Christmas cheer!
Now let joy abounding, We'll not stint the measures,
Bid all sorrow fly. Would you all were here!

Ye who pine in sorrow, Boys and girls together--
Come be cheer'd to-day; From all parts and climes,
Of our gladness borrow, To enjoy this weather,
As you freely may. And these Christmas times!

FOOTNOTE:

[A] Nursery, 1876.

Transcriber's Notes:

The July edition of the Nursery had a table of contents for the next six
issues of the year. This table was divided to cover each specific issue.
A title page copied from this same July edition was also used for this
number and the issue number added after the Volume number.

The notes about treble and bass clef lyrics were added to indicate what
the original music score represented.

Page 176, period added to end of paragraph (in both hands.)
