The gift that keeps on giving
Is coming to my house
Like a wild deer at my doorway
He was suddenly so close
My beams are made of cedar wood
My rafters made of fir
My garden holds a fountain
Honeycomb and myrrh

I went along the broadways
Searching for my love
I asked among the watchmen
Have you seen my love?
Promise not to wake him, sisters
Let him sleep his time
He comforts me with apples
Succors me with wine

Holy night 
Blessed daylight
You are my true delight

I saw to my soul, lovers
I saw to me and my bed
His right hand doth embrace me
His left under my head
He brought me to the banquet house
When I looked above
Then I saw his banner over me was love

Holy night 
Blessed daylight
You are my true delight

The gift that keeps on giving
I found the gift that keeps on giving
The gift that keeps on giving
You're the gift that keeps on giving
