'Tis the gladsome Christmas time

Representative Text

1 'Tis the gladsome Christmas time,
Hear us sing, O hear us sing;
Happy carols sweetly chime,
O hear the merry songs we sing.

Chorus:
Tra, la, la, la, la la, la, la la,
Hear us sing, O hear us sing;
Tra, la, la, la, la la, la, la la,
O hear the merry songs we sing.

2 We're so glad the Christ Child caem,
Hear us sing, O hear us sing;
With our hearts and souls aflame,
O hear the merry songs we sing. [Chorus]

3 Helping others to be glad,
Hear us sing, O hear us sing;
Bringing gladness to the sad,
O hear the merry songs we sing. [Chorus]

4 We're a happy sunshine band,
Hear us sing, O hear us sing;
Bringing gladness to our land,
O hear the merry songs we sing. [Chorus]
