Ho, children, ho! Ring loud the bells, In town and dells; And gladly go, Thru ice and snow, For mistletoe, With merry bells!

Come, welcome Santy, In his reindeer sleigh, On the King's highway— He's never scanty— So children, ho! For mistletoe, With jingling bells!

Of Christ we'll sing, With glad acclaim, And steadfast aim, His praises ring— O children, go, For mistletoe, With joyful bells!

Come young, come old! Those only live Who love to give, With hearts of gold, All people, ho! For mistletoe, With dancing bells!
