The Song and the Star

There’s a hap­py song

That’s ring­ing on the air

’Tis the song that hearts

Are sing­ing ev­ery­where;

At the mer­ry Christ­mas time

Tuneful bells the mes­sage chime

And its ho­ly peace

And glad­ness all may share!

Happy Christ­mas! Sweet­ly ec­ho

Star of Christ­mas

bright­ly shine!

Till the world shall hear the mes­sage

And shall seek the Babe di­vine!

There’s a won­drous star

That’s shin­ing o’er the earth

’Tis the star that tells

The world of Je­sus’ birth;

Every seek­ing soul ’twill guide

At the hap­py Christ­mas tide

When the hearts of men

Are filled with ho­ly mirth!

O the hap­py song

Is sound­ing far and wide

And the heav’n­ly star

Will ev­er be our guide;

And the Christ who came in love

Bringing bless­ings from ab­ove

In the heart that’s pure

And truth­ful will ab­ide!
