Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you
A happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year,
I have a little purse that's
Made of leather skin
I need a silver sixpence to
Line it well within
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you
A happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year
We are not weary beggars who
Beg from door to door,
We're the neighbors' children
Whom you have seen before
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you
A happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you
A happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you
A happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year

O Holy Night

O Holy Night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Silent night,
Holy night,
All is calm,
All is bright,
'Round yon virgin Mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Silent night,
Holy night,
All is calm,
All is bright,
'Round yon virgin Mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
A MIDWINTER'S POEM:
As I walked through the forest in the shadow of night,
The snow around me was white, and soft,
Like the feathers on a ptarmigan’s breast,
And cold like the depths of the heavens,
It seemed as though all life had left, and hurried
South, away from this windswept wilderness,
Save for this small, dark shape before me;
A red fox, hunting in the snow
And suddenly it seemed that this
Dead forest was not so lifeless after all,
And perhaps the sun would return,
And spring would come again
When the time was right, and the world was warm
And fell tides melted with snow

In the Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan;
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago
Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But His Mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss
Oh what can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part,
Yet what I can I give Him,
I will give my heart,
I will give my heart.

Path to Bantry Palmer, Alaska
Path to Bantry is an electronic alternative band formed by filmmaker Riley Blankenship and her brother, cartoonist, producer, and composer Cooper Rae Blankenship of Blue Owl.

Path to Bantry recommends:
Path to Bantry's own Cooper Rae Blankenship released Words — an experimental, instrumental EDM album — under the project name Blue Owl in 2021. We may be biased, but we thing its pretty cool!
go to album
We've been fans of Owl City for a long time — in fact, he's been one of our primary influences. Coco Moon is a return to the classic Owl City sound and we think it's one of the best yet!
