Time to Remember the Poor lyrics

Now the winter is come with its cold chilling breath

And the leaves do fall from the trees

All nature is touched with the finger of death

And the streams do begin for to freeze

When the wanton young boys on the water will slide

And the frost overcovers the moor

When with health rich enjoy everything that is good

That's the time to remember the poor

That's the time to remember the poor

When the poor harmless hare to the woods may be traced

By the print he has left in the snow

When our lips and our toes are turned blue with frost

And the sportsman a shooting do go

When a poor Robin Redbreast approaches our cot

And icicles hang o'er the door

When the bright twinkling stars proclaim the cold night

That's the time to remember the poor

That's the time to remember the poor

O the time will draw nigh when the seasons on Earth

All the world will agree with one voice

All nations unite to salute a new morn

And the ends of the Earth will rejoice

When death is deprived of his cold chilly sting

And the grave is a terror no more

When angels and men alleluja shall sing

Then the rich will lie down with the poor

Then the rich will lie down with the poor
