"Wait for the Wagon." During the singing of the first stanza
and chorus, the fourteen boys and girls divide off into
couples and march around, elevating and lowering the wands in
time to music. During the second stanza they form two opposite
lines, with wands crossed overhead, couples marching under
the arches formed and back again to places. Third stanza, the
opposite lines pass forward and back, cross to other side,
partners passing each other, then back once more, and turn
partners into place in a line forming "Merry Christmas"
again.)

Thy call we must obey,
And carry fadeless garlands
In honor of the day.

_Chorus_ (_to be sung after each verse_).--
All hail, merry Christmas!
Hail, merry Christmas!

The evergreen day.

Oh, Christmas, merry Christmas!
With laughter, song, and play,
How gayly pass the hours
Of that dear, happy day.--_Chorus_.

Oh, Christmas, merry Christmas!
