Christmas, Glad Christmas (Irvine)

Christmas

glad Christ­mas

Is with us once more

And all the rich bless­ings

From the Christ we ad­ore.

So lit­tle child­ren sing out the glad cry

Peace is our watch­word

’Twill reach God on high.

Good will to all let

Our ban­ners now show

And high­er and grand­er

May our an­thems still grow.

So lit­tle child­ren sing out the glad cry

Good will our an­them

’Twill reach God on high.

Wave then our pen­nant

O’er all the broad earth

Let voic­es of child­ren

Still pro­claim the great worth.

So lit­tle child­ren sing out the glad cry

Sweet al­le­lu­ia

’Twill reach God on high.
