Old & New Cornish Christmas Carols

Cornish Carols - A Tradition For The World

St Just in Penwith

The mining area of St Just in Penwith has seen some sad sights at Christmas as well as joyful ones. This year we saw a joyful gathering of over 200 children in the local Methodist chapel. They had come together to learn about Cornish carols and to rehearse for an evening concert. See article link on the home page.

Two St Just children Ella Whiteman and Joanne Dallimore, wrote this carol for the competition, both are aged 10, and are pupils at St Just in Penwith primary school. Ella and Joanne said is was the first music composition they had ever done.

 We love Christmas time, 
we love Christmas time.
A time of fun and joy,
We love Christmas 
Yes we do, Yes we do.
 
The cliff tops are covered in snow
The fence lines are icy and cold
Everyone's cosy at home
 
Here comes Christmas time
Here comes Christmas time
A time of love and joy
We love Christmas 
Yes we do, yes we do
 
A baby boy, fast asleep in his bed of hay
Sweet little boy, yes he is, yes he is.
We love him so much.
 
We love Christmas time, 
we love Christmas time.
A time of fun and joy
We love Christmas 
Yes we do, Yes we do.
 
Yes we do, yes we do.
