Merry

...Waft the tid­ings far and near,

Ring it out with right good cheer,...

...start

To the friends both great and small;...

...start

Cheerily it ring­eth through the air;...

...start

To our hap­py spir­its wel­come here!...

...start

The bells are gai­ly ring­ing;...

...Praise to their God and Sav­ior!

Merry, mer­ry Christ­mas,...

...start

Day of sac­red joy and mirth!...

...To tell of peace while sor­rows flee.

Peace on earth, good will to men;...

...Joyful car­ols we are sing­ing;

Brightest day of all the year,...

...Come away, the bells are call­ing,

Youthful hearts again are bound­ing...

...On this fes­tal Christ­mas morn.

Merry Christ­mas, mer­ry Christ­mas....

...Joyful be, ’tis Christ­mas time!

Joyful be, ’tis Christ­mas time!...

...Sweetly chime the mer­ry Christ­mas bells,

Blithe and gay their hap­py mu­sic swells,...

...Sweetly chime the mer­ry Christ­mas bells,

Blithe and gay their hap­py mu­sic swells,...

...start

Clear and sweet their car­ol swells,...

...Where no fears in­trude,

God is ev­er good....

...And sandals on his feet. And bring the fattened calf;

Was dead and lives again; was lost but found....

...Chime in car­ol or in rhyme,

Chime, chime, mer­ri­ly chime,...

...Loving and giv­ing and bless­ing al­ways.

Sing Mer­ry Christ­mas! to play­mates so dear,...

...I was dead, but now I live!

Back in my Father’s house again!...
