A Solemn Christmas Carol
Christmas we celebrate with peers
Calamity they suffer with tears
Lingering carol we sing
But what they hear is the malady of the dying
May Christmas spirit voyages through all lands
For us to lend our hands
So it can be strengthen
That we all are brethren
No matter how big the tides
God bless you all my friends
