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"
