Verse 1:,
When darkness is falling and shadows grow long,
It's time for the children to sing this old song,
It tells of the coming of wonders untold,
Forgotten is winter, it's fury and cold,,
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow,
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow,,
Repeat verse 1,,
When darkness is falling and stars fill the sleigh,
The waiting is over and we all know why,
It's time for celebrating and having a feast,
Because of the tidings that come from the east,
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow,
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
