O merry is the Christmas time
With holly berries bright,
With festal board and treasure stored
In stockings soft and white.And blessed is the Christmas time
With music such as rang
A glorious strain o'er Bethlehem's plain
When angel voices sang.
O, joyful is the Christmas time,
Each heart from grief beguiled,
But all the year hath a Christmas cheer
For him that loves a child.
