Listen to the sleigh-bells ring
Their tinkling sounds delight.
Both young and old gathered round
The Christmas square tonight.
Sing of joy and peace on earth
Good will to all mankind.
Voices echo through the hills
Of precious love divine.
And as the stars in heav'n above
Cast down their brilliant glow,
Angels sang along with man
While gazing down below.
Christmas time is in the air
And with it comes the hope,
A Savior born in Bethlehem
So many years ago.
Let peace now reign, in your heart
And joyful praise proclaim,
What wondrous gift the Father gave
Emmanuel His Name!
