’Tis mer­ry, mer­ry Christ­mas time!
The world with joy is clad;
Let all our hap­py voic­es chime,
And ev­ery heart be glad.

Refrain

Raise your grate­ful voic­es high,
Let no heart be sad;
Christ is born, the great Mes­si­ah,
Let the world be glad.

All glo­ry un­to God, our king;
To Christ, His on­ly Son;
Forever let His prais­es ring,
Redemption is be­gun.

Refrain

All glo­ry un­to Christ, our Lord!
Who saves us thro’ His name;
Let Heav’n and earth, with one ac­cord,
His prais­es loud pro­claim.
