Message of Christmas Time

Sweetly chime the mer­ry Christ­mas bells

Merry Christ­mas bells

Blithe and gay their hap­py mu­sic swells

Ringing sweet and clear;

How they ring a song of Christ­mas cheer

Sounding sweet­ly in the air:

Ring out the chor­us

The mes­sage of Christ­mas time.

Sweetly chime the mer­ry Christ­mas bells

Merry Christ­mas bells

Blithe and gay their hap­py mu­sic swells;

Happy mu­sic swells;

Gladly ring ye mer­ry

mer­ry bells

Ring the sto­ry ev­er dear;

Ring out the chor­us

The mes­sage of Christ­mas time.

Sweet the tale the bless­èd an­gels told

On that hap­py morn

How the Lord in Beth­le­hem of old

To the earth was born;

Now rejoice

the pro­mised King is here

Prince of peace in­deed is He:

Ring out the chor­us

The mes­sage of Christ­mas time.

Brightly shone the star of Beth­le­hem

To the sleep­ing world

How it led the sag­es from afar

To the man­ger Child;

There He lay on hum­ble bed of hay

He the King of all the earth:

Ring out the chor­us

The mes­sage of Christ­mas time.
