Lyrics:

Hello my friend, hello
Hello my friend, hello
So nice to see you out tonight
Hello my friend, hello

The table's set for twelve
We'll be ringing all the bells
The night outside is bright with snow
But it's warm inside in the fire glow
May all release their heavy load
Hello my friend, hello

The garland decks the hall
The season fills us all
Another year has come and passed
The dark of winter is gone at last
The earth atones for all we lack
Hello my friend, hello

Tonight the stars align
We all partake the wine
With merry hearts and innocence
All our children and all our friends
The beggars sing with recompense
Hello my friend, hello

Hello my friend, hello
Hello my friend, hello
So nice to see you out tonight
Hello my friend, hello
