Christmas Carol sung near the beginning


Does anybody know the title of that lovely Christmas carol the carolers sing shortly after the beginning of the film? Or the lyrics? Many thanks!


"To absent friends - in memory, still bright"

The title of the carol is "Remember, O thou man", and the lyrics may be found at
http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/remember_o_thou_man.htm

The verses used in the movie, at Farmer Shiner's and at Fancy's and the parson's are verses 15, 16, 19, 20

15. In Bethlehem he was born,
O thou man, O thou man!
In Bethlehem he was born,
For mankind's sake;

16. In Bethlehem he was born,
For us that were forlorn,
And therefore took no scorn
Our sins to bear.

19. Give thanks to God always,
O thou man, O thou man!
Give thanks to God always,
With heart most joyfully

20. Give thanks to God always,
Upon this blessed day,7
Let all men sing and say:
'Holy, holy!'

Isn't the internet great for things like this!
