Lyrics
CHORUS
Christmas be merry Christmas be bright
May you find joy in your world tonight
Hang your holly berries,
Light your Christmas tree
Light it with the light that brings
Peace on earth and harmony ......
V1
I hear the merry Christmas Bells
I hope their ringing finds you well
Bells ring across the land and sea
Their joyful ringing is for
You... and... me... They're ringing :
CHORUS (Repeat refrain)
V2
I hear the joyful Christmas choir
Their singing warms me like a fire
They bring the world a harmony
Their soulful singing is for
You... and.. me... They're singing:
CHORUS (repeat refrain)
