O joyful children

O joyful children, bring white winter roses
With bright burning candles to welcome the lord.
O joyful children, bring rings of bright berries
And white winter roses and green holly boughs

Our hearts were sleeping
The cold winter storm is gone
The night is done
The world is dressed in silver light

Candles are burning
Bracelets of fire in the snow
The world a-glow
Warming the circles of flowers and leaves
Morning has come

O joyful children bring white winter roses
With bright burning candles to welcome the lord
O joyful children, bring flowers around him
The spring is a-coming, the sun is a-rising
The earth is a-singing, it's christmas morn
Christ is born
