Deck the halls by Charles Wood — Lyrics
1.
Deck the hall with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la, la, la.
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la, la, la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la, la, la.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la, la, la.

About Deck the halls
Charles Wood's arrangement of the traditional Welsh carol Deck the Halls brings this festive song to life for SATB choir. The text evokes the joy and revelry of the Christmas season, with its imagery of decorating halls with holly, wearing gay apparel, and singing ancient Yuletide carols. The arrangement captures the spirit of merriment, encouraging singers to troll the ancient Yuletide carol and follow in merry measure. The cheerful "Fa la la" refrains add to the infectious jollity, making this a perfect piece to bring warmth and celebration to any Christmas concert.
