Christmas day again.

Carol

but with glad­ness

Not in songs of earth;

On the Sav­ior’s birth­day

Hallowed be our mirth;

While a thou­sand bless­ings

Fill our hearts with glee

Christmas day we’ll keep

The Feast of Cha­ri­ty.

At the mer­ry table

Think of those who’ve none

Th’orphan and the wi­dow

Hungry and alone.

Bountiful your of­fer­ings

To the al­tar bring;

Let the poor and nee­dy

Christmas car­ols sing.

Listening an­gel music

Discord sure must cease—

Who dare hate his bro­ther

On this day of peace?

While the heav’ns are tell­ing

To man­kind good will

Only love and kind­ness

Every bo­som fill.

Let your hearts

re­spond­ing

To the ser­aph band

With this morn­ing’s sun­shine

Bright in ev­ery land:

Word

and deed

and pray­er

Speak the grate­ful sound

Telling Mer­ry Christ­mas

All the world around.
