Happy Christmas Time (Hoffman)

Rejoice! re­joice! the Christ­mas time is here

The time for joy and glad­ness;

The Christ of God is come our hearts to cheer

And ban­ish care and sad­ness.

Chime on

ye bells of glad­ness

chime!

Chime on

ye bells of glad­ness

chime!

This is the mer­ry

hap­py Christ­mas time!

This is the mer­ry

hap­py Christ­mas time!

We ga­ther round the fest­ive Christ­mas tree

And praise the Lord of Heav­en

That un­to us He has

in mer­cy free

A pre­cious Sav­ior giv­en.

This is the mer­ry

hap­py Christ­mas time

Ring out the won­drous sto­ry;

Chime on

ye bells of joy and glad­ness

chime

And ce­le­brate His glo­ry.
