SONGS MADE by UNKNOWNS
CAROLS THAT LIVE THROUGH CENTURIES WELCOME TO SUN It is possible that in the early hours of Christmas morning 3 r ou were disturbed by some singers, alleged or otherwise who besought you as a Christian to awake and .salute, the happy morn. It is probable tluit the songs that! were sung to you were written by some unknown composer long before the days of Bach or Handel. The first Christmas carol was in no sense a hymn. It was really a dance at which songs were sung. We have a .simple example of the idea today when children play "ring a ring a roses."
