Christmas Time Is Here

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Family’s drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the years
And there were shepherds that were out in the fields nearby
Keeping watch over their flocks at night
And angel, the Lord, appeared to them
In the glory the Lord shone around them
And they were terrified but the angel said to them
Do not be afraid, I bring you good news
That will cause great joy for all the people
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you
He is a messiah, the Lord, this will be a sign to you
You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger
Suddenly a great company of Heavenly Hosts
Appeared with the angel, praising God and saying
Glory to God in the highest Heaven and on Earth
Peace to those on whom his favor rests
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Family’s drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the years
