🎅 Verse 1:
E minorEm                D MajorD
Christmas is now drawing near at hand
E minorEm                  D MajorD
Come serve the Lord and be at his command
E minorEm                D MajorD
And God a portion for you will provide
      C majorC        A minorAm   E minorEm
And give a blessing to your soul beside

🎅 Verse 2:
E minorEm                    D MajorD
Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks
E minorEm                     D MajorD
Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks
E minorEm                     D MajorD
Down on your knees and pray both night and day
        C majorC        A minorAm    E minorEm
Leave off your sins and live upright
I pray

🎅 Verse 3:
E minorEm                 D MajorD
So proud and lofty is some sort of sin
E minorEm                  D MajorD
Which many take delight and pleasure in
E minorEm                 D MajorD
Whose conversation God doth not dislike
      C majorC        A minorAm    E minorEm
And yet He shakes His sword before He strikes

🎅 Verse 4:
E minorEm                D MajorD
So proud and lofty do some people go
E minorEm                   D MajorD
Dressing themselves like players in the show
E minorEm                    D MajorD
They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff
     C majorC      A minorAm     E minorEm
As if God had not made them fine enough

🎅 Verse 5:
E minorEm                   D MajorD
Even little children learn to curse and swear
E minorEm                 D MajorD
And can't recite one word of godly prayer
E minorEm                     D MajorD
Who'll teach them better or teach them to rely
       C majorC        A minorAm      E minorEm
On Christ the sinner's friend who reigns on high
