Carol, ' God Bless You, Merry Gentlemen '
THE Churchmen of old knew how to turn to their advantage the songs, of pagan origin, with which their folk loved to greet the various seasons of the year. New words were grafted on the old tunes, and fresh tunes came into existence. Thus were shaped the Carols we know, and the one-time heathen songs and celebrations became a powerful means of enforcing religious truths.
Welcome, Yule, with its charming fifteenth-century words, is a capital specimen of the robust, hearty carol.
