"Since or before" Its a phrase. we use it like this.
and, its not "as merry as...."
"The long-awaited moment at last came" OR "At last,the long awaited moment came". both can be used.
and, its not "as merry as...."
"The long-awaited moment at last came" OR "At last,the long awaited moment came". both can be used.

Merry basically means Cheerful or lively, which clearly explains why a band of children are metaphorically claimed to as Merry. And in the given context, they (the people who are going somewhere) are excited to finally begin the journey.
