Carol singing flourished first in the middle ages, and every generation has made its own contribution to the tradition. We are no different today, and like so many others I go 'wassailing' at Christmastime armed with an array of carol books and single sheets of music. Juggling all this music can be awkward when you are touring a hospital or nursing home, or singing in the open air. So in a way. this book is for my own convenience; but I know that it is needed and I hope thousands of others will benefit from having all their favourite carols under one cover.- Neil JenkinsPlease note made to order items are non-returnableContentsChristmas is comingCome all you worthy gentlemenDeck the hallGod rest you merry, gentlemenHere we come a-wassailingJoy to the worldListen, lordings, unto meO Christmas treePast three o'clockThe Boar's Head CarolThe Mummer's songThe twelve days of ChristmasThe waits' songThis is the truthWassail all over the townWe wish you a merry ChristmasChild in the mangerInfant holy, infant lowlyI saw a fair maidenI saw a maiden sitten and singI sing of a maidenLullay my likingO babe divineO little one sweetO sleep, thou heav'n-born treasureSilent nightSing lullabySleep!
