Let the Laurel Twine

Let the laur­el twine

With the frag­rant pine

And the hol­ly ber­ries gay;

Let our hearts be light

And our fire­sides bright

On the hap­py Christ­mas Day.

Hail

hail

O hail the hap­py day!

Joy

joy

O hear the an­gels say;

Let us cheer the sad

With the tid­ings glad

Unto you is born

Hear the bless­èd word

Unto you is born a Sav­ior

Christ

the Lord.

Trim the fest­ive tree

Keeping ju­bi­lee;

We will spread good will and cheer;

For the Sav­ior born

Comforts those who mourn

And His birth­day now is here.

Outward signs of joy

We would not de­stroy

While our we bless­ings re­call;

But the bless­èd love

Of the King ab­ove

Is the great­est joy of all.
