The piano rings with melodies bright 
As people listen on a Christmas night. 

Beautiful tunes of bells and bows, 
Ragdolls, trucks and pretty clothes. 

The snow is falling making all white, 
While jingle bells ring on a sleighride. 

Snowmen standing with brooms in hand, 
People walking in a winter wonder land. 

Church bells ring on Christmas Day, 
Telling the news of the babe on the hay. 

While Joy to the World is spread around, 
While Jesus is born in Bethlehem town. 

Away in a manger, the little child lay, 
A King is born the angels say. 

While shepherds watched their sheep, 
Three Kings came to give gifts and see. 

The Christ Child upon Mary's lap, 
Swaddled in rags and taking a nap. 

O Holy Night, the stars brightly shine, 
The Messiah was here right on time. 

As promised to prophets of days of old, 
He came to save the sinners soul. 

From a babe to a king He would grow, 
As the Father prepared Him to go. 

To a cross on a hill one fateful day, 
He was crucified and taken away. 

Now He Lives, He Lives Today, 
The Christ child that was born 
On CHRISTMAS DAY! ! !
