Beautiful Christ­mas time
Once more we greet,
Telling in song and chime,
A sto­ry sweet—
Story of One who came
From courts above,
That all who hear His name
Might know His love.

Refrain

The Christ­mas light shines o’er us,
It lights the way be­fore us;
Sweet bells in sil­ver chor­us
Proclaim the glad news of Heav’n!
The ang­els bright are sing­ing
That Je­sus Christ is born,
The an­gels are sing­ing,
The glad bells are ring­ing
The birth of Im­ma­nu­el.

Beautiful Christ­mas day
Of long ago,
Ever up­on our way
Thy light shall glow;
Ever thy won­der­ful
Gladness shall bring
News to a list­en­ing earth
Of Christ the King.

Refrain

Beautiful Christ­mas tide
Welcome to­day,
Speak to our hearts and guide
Each on his way;
Tell of the One who came
From courts ab­ove,
That all who hear His name
Might know His love.
