Merry Christmas (Holmes)

As sang the an­gels long ago

While shep­herds watched their flocks be­low;

So sing we now the song again

Of peace on earth

good will to men.

Oh

let us then our tongues em­ploy;

Christmas brings the day of joy;

When men with an­gels join in glee

To tell of peace while sor­rows flee.

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas sing we then

Peace on earth

good will to men;

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas

ov­er again.

He came—the Sav­ior of man­kind

To raise the dead and lead the blind;

He came—the Prince of Peace

the Friend

Of all

the Life

the Way

the End.

Coming

He the gift be­stowed of

Light along the earth’s dark road;

Of com­fort here

and home be­yond;

Of bliss­ful peace

and love pro­found.
