Happy Christmas

Happy Christ­mas! Hap­py Christ­mas!

Hear thy mu­sic on the air!

Bells are ring­ing

child­ren sing­ing

Love and glad­ness ev­ery­where.

E’en the sad­dest heart grows cheer­ful

On this glo­ri­ous Christ­mas morn;

While above the sweet voiced an­gels

Sing for joy that Je­sus Christ is born.

Happy Christ­mas! Hap­py Christ­mas!

Hear thy mu­sic on the air!

Bells are ring­ing

child­ren sing­ing

Love and glad­ness ev­ery­where.

Not alone in far Ju­dea

Under Beth­l’em’s star­lit skies;

In our hearts and homes the Christ-child

Born anew

in beau­ty lies.

Angel songs and pi­ous rap­tures

Humble folk and kings of earth

Joyous ti­dings

ho­ly vi­sions

Greet once more

Mes­si­ah’s hal­lowed birth.

Born anew in hearts made ten­der

Born anew in hearts made glad;

To fore­tell the reign of good­ness

And the down­fall of the bad.

Truth shall tri­umph ov­er false­hood

Right be vic­tor ov­er wrong;

Christian hearts! be­lieve

pro­claim it!

Chant it in your grate­ful Christ­mas song!
