The Somerset Carol was collected by English Folk Song revivalist #CecilSharp in 1902.
Mr Rapsey of Bridgwater provided the melody and lyrics, later included in Somerset Folk Songs, and recalled singing it in the streets at Christmas in the Wassail tradition.
Singers would visit houses offering good cheer & a drink of mulled cider or ale from the wassail bowl.
On Twelfth Night, the wassail returns, this time to the apple orchards, where the Queen of the Wassail is carried on the wassailer's shoulders to place cider soaked toasted bread amongst tree branches, driving away evil spirits and awakening the apple trees.
"Come all you worthy gentlemen
That may be standing by.
Christ our blessed Saviour
Was born on Christmas day.
The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did say,
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!
Christ our blessed Saviour
Now in the manger lay;
He's lying in the manger,
While the oxen fed on hay.
The blessed Virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray.
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!
God bless the ruler of this house,
And long on may he reign;
Many happy Christmases
He live to see again!
God bless our generation
Who live both far and near;
O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!"

#CecilSharp was born #OnThisDay in 1859, a Fabian socialist & a vegetarian who initiated the folk song revival in #England through his collection of #folkmusic. I have his collection of English #folksongs & I now sing some of them every day...

Public announcement: Drama on 3: Folk at 20:00 on Sunday, 18 September on @BBCRadio3 is @NellLeyshon’s play Folk. The play is inspired by #CecilSharp’s song-collecting in Somerset in the summer of 1903. @cecilsharphouse @TheEFDSS
All I'm saying is, all rooms should look and feel like this. That's all. I don't ask for much. #cecilsharp #oralhistory #sweetthames #library
Off down to London on Wednesday 16th with @AliceJonesMusic to play @cecilsharphouse! Be grand to see some of you there! Might have a little peek in the archives @TheEFDSS library too. #londonfolkmusic #yorkshirefolk #folkduo #cecilsharp #traditionalsongs #folksong #vwml
‘their vocals seem made for each other, engaging, full of character and harmony. This is a duo you don’t want to miss’ – @FRUK on @BryonyGriffith and @AliceJonesMusic, live at the House next Wednesday https://t.co/NoQFBOCLKi
Another miniature masterpiece @Hamps_Theatre in @NellLeyshon’s #Folk directed by #RoxanaSilbert and starring the remarkable #MariamHaque @Sashadfrost @benallenactor #SimonRobson 🎭 As #CecilSharp collects Somerset songs, a heady brew of nationalism, landscape and identity emerges
On our last trip to @cecilsharphouse we were invited to look at the archives. Here are a few gems from Cecil Sharp's handwritten notebooks.
