Christmas brings joy to every heart

Sets old and young rejoicing

What angels sang once to all on earth

Oh, hear the children voicing.



Bright is the tree with lights aglow

Like birds that perch together

The child that holdeth Christmas dear

Shall keep these joys forever.



Joy comes to the all the world today

To halls and cottage hasting

Come, sparrow and dove, from roof tree tall

And share our Christmas feasting.



Dance, little child, on mother's knee

The lovely day is dawning

The road to paradise is found

The blessèd Christmas morning.



Once to this earth our Savior came

An infant poor and lowly

To open for us those gardens fair

Where dwell His angels holy.



Christmas joy He bringeth us

The Christ child King of heaven

“To every little child,” He saith,

“Shall angel wings be given...”
