Lyrics

Celtic Christmas

Words & Music by Jan Garrett & JD Martin

We gather at the darkest time to welcome in the light
And celebrate the First Noel upon a Christmas night
So deck the halls with boughs of holly, lightly falling snow
We'll fill with light this silent night, and let the old year go

Unfolding holy labyrinth, the turning of the year
We end our simple pilgrimage, upon a midnight clear
And even through the darkest night, the longest, deepest cold
We hear the angels singing in the chambers of the soul

And all is well, beyond what we can see
And all is well, and evermore shall be

And everyone we've ever loved is still alive and well
The heart remembers everything, as far as I can tell
And all our fondest hopes & dreams are loving us so much
That time bends over backwards to make sure we keep in touch

So let us sleep in peace, and with a grateful heart awake
And greet a new beginning with the dawning of the day
The angels we have heard on high are with us all along
We'll join the joyful chorus, singing Heaven & Nature's song

And all is well, beyond what we can see
And all is well, and evermore shall be

And so we thank our lucky stars, at times when we're apart
We'll always be together in this kingdom of the heart
God rest ye merry gentlemen, and all the ladies too
And as the years go rolling by, may all our dreams come true
