Christmas

...start

And the mer­ry, mer­ry church bells ring,...

...start

Christmas in lands of the palm tree and vine;...

...Cheerily it ring­eth through the air;

Christmas od­ors on the breeze....

...Making ev­ery list­en­er glad;

Let no heart be sad....

...Hear the crys­tal in­to­na­tions of the bells,

As their tones float on the air....

...start

How its songs and puls­es thrill!...

...Gladdest day of all the year,

Sing for joy, sing for joy,...

...start

Singing, ring­ing on the air;...

...Carol bro­thers, car­ol,

Carol, but with glad­ness,...

...start

Hark! hark! how it freights the air;...

...’Tis mer­ry, mer­ry, mer­ry, mer­ry

’Tis mer­ry, mer­ry, mer­ry, mer­ry...

...start

Christmas plea­sures bring­ing;...

...start

We greet it, we greet it with glee,...

...start

Rings thy mes­sage gent­ly mild,...

...And ev­ery ho­ly an­gel sings.

Christmas time, Christ­mas time....

...Each one glad­ly tells,

Songs of al­most heav’n­ly sweet­ness...

...start

Sets old and young re­joic­ing,...

...O ye sons of men, be joy­ful,

Yes, the Christ­mas bells are ring­ing,...

...Snow on the ground and a frost in the air,

Deck home and church with our ten­der­est care,...

...start

All our cares aside we cast,...
