| Is heard from afar | A |
| And his trumpet notes sound | B |
| All the country around | B |
| Stop your ears as you will | C |
| That loud blast and shrill | C |
| Is heard by you still | C |
| Borne along by the gale | D |
| In his frost coat of mail | D |
| Midst snow sleet and hail | D |
| He comes without fail | D |
| And drives all before him | E |
| Though men beg and implore him | E |
| Just to let them take breath | F |
| Or he'll drive them to death | F |
| But he comes in great state | G |
| And for none will he wait | G |
| Though he sees their distress | H |
| Yet he spares them no less | H |
| For the cold stiff limb | E |
| Is nothing to him | E |
| And o'er countless blue noses | I |
| His hard heart he closes | I |
| His own children fear him | E |
| And dare not come near him | E |
| E'en his favorite child | J |
| Has been known to run wild | J |
| At his too near approach | K |
| Her fear of him such | L |
| And to shriek and to howl | M |
| And return scowl for scowl | M |
| Indeed few dare him face | N |
| And all shun his embrace | N |
| For though pleasant his smile | O |
| Yet one thinks all the while | O |
| Of that terrible frown | P |
| Which the hardiest clown | P |
| Though a stout hearted man | Q |
| Will avoid if he can | Q |
| And though many maintain | R |
| That he gives needless pain | R |
| I confess I admire | S |
| This venerable sire | T |
| True his language is harsh | U |
| And his conduct oft rash | V |
| And we know well enough | W |
| That his manners are rough | W |
| Yet still in the main | R |
| We've no right to complain | R |
| For if we prepare for him | E |
| And show that we care for him | E |
| We may in him find | X |
| A true friend and kind | X |
| With us he will stay | Y |
| Three months to a day | Y |
| So let us prepare | Z |
| The snug elbow chair | Z |
| Which placed by the fire | T |
| For the hoary head sire | T |
| May comfort impart | A2 |
| And cheer his old heart | A2 |
| Though he seems so unkind | X |
| Yet always you'll find | X |
| That his cold heart will warm | B2 |
| And he'll do you no harm | C2 |
| If your own can but feel | D2 |
| For your poor neighbor's weal | D2 |
| And with pity o'erflowing | E2 |
| Your free alms bestowing | E2 |
| Never closing your door | F2 |
| On the suffering poor | G2 |
| But clothe feed and warm them | H2 |
| And see that none harm them | H2 |
| E'en to others just do | I2 |
| As you'd wish them by you | I2 |
| Let's adopt but this plan | Q |
| To do good when we can | Q |
| And the dark stormy day | Y |
| Will full quick pass away | Y |
| And we never complain | R |
| Of cold weather again | J2 |
| Or of tedious long hours | K2 |
| That are spent within doors | L2 |
| For when winter winds blow | D2 |
| And we're hedged up by snow | D2 |
| We shall find full employment | M2 |
| And lack no enjoyment | M2 |
| Thus prepared let him come | N2 |
| He will find us at home | O2 |
| Bring wind hail or snow | D2 |
| Blow high or blow low | D2 |
| We're prepared for him now | P2 |
| Then come winter come | N2 |
| You'll find us at home | O2 |

| Nov | Q2 |
| - | |
| There is within this heart of mine | R2 |
| An aching void earth ne'er can fill | D2 |
| I've tried its joys its friendships proved | S2 |
| But felt that aching void there still | D2 |
| - | |
| Thy love alone my Saviour God | T2 |
| True satisfaction can impart | A2 |
| Can fill this aching void I feel | D2 |
| And give contentment to my heart | A2 |
| - | |
| Oh cheer me by thy presence Lord | U2 |
| Increase my faith an hundred fold | V2 |
| Be thy name on my forehead found | B |
| Mine in thy book of life enrolled | V2 |
