13279. 'Tis Merry Christmas Time

1 ’Tis merry, merry Christmas time,
It comes again with sweetest chime;
The crystal bells, they ring so free,
Our hearts are thrilled with melody.

Refrain:
’Tis merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas time,
’Tis merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas time,
It comes again with sweetest chime,
The Christmas chine.

2 Ring out, O stars, the sweet refrain,
Ye angel choirs repeat again
The song of peace o’er all the earth,
The tidings of the Savior’s birth. [Refrain]

3 Sing we the song—the anthem raise,
With angel choirs His name to praise;
He brings the world goodwill and peace,
And bids our strife forever cease. [Refrain]
