15311. Merry, Merry Christmas Day

Refrain:
Merry, merry Christmas day has come,
The bells are gaily ringing;
Merry, merry Christmas day has come,
And children sweetly singing;
Merry, merry Christmas day has come,
The blessèd tidings bringing,
Merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry Christmas day.

1 The Savior comes to dwell on earth,
We hail today His wondrous birth;
The angels sing the glad refrain,
Of peace on earth, good will to men. [Refrain]

2 The wondrous song with rapture thrills
The shepherds on Judean hills;
While angels bid them seek the place
Where lies the Lord of life and grace. [Refrain]

3 With rapid tread the shepherds haste
To seek the lowly manger place,
And bending o’er the cheerless stall,
They hail the Savior, Lord of all. [Refrain]
