1. Christmas time is come again,
    Christmas pleasures bringing;
Let us join our voices now,
    And Christmas songs be singing.
Years ago, one starry night,
    Thus the story's given —
Angels bands, o'er Bethlehem's plains,
    Sand the songs of heaven.

Chorus:
Glory be to God on high!
    Peace, good will to mortals!
Christ the Lord is born tonight,
    Heav'n throws wide its portals.

2. Angels sang; let men reply,
    And children join their voices;
Raise the chorus loud and high,
    Earth and heav'n rejoices.
When we reach that happy place,
    Joyous praises bringing,
Then, before our Father's face,
    We shall still be singing. Chorus
