Christmas time has come at last,
All our cares aside we cast,
Now let ev­ery heart be glad and gay;
All our friends and kin­dred dear,
We would glad­ly wel­come here,
On this long ex­pect­ed Christ­mas day.

Refrain

Oh, day of joy and glad­ness,
Strew hap­pi­ness around,
Oh, ban­ish care and sad­ness,
Let peace and love abound;
Christmas time has come at last,
All our cares aside we cast,
Now let ev­ery heart be glad and gay.

Gifts from friends so true and kind
Heart to heart more firm­ly bind,
We would thank you for your gifts to­day.
God ap­proves you from above,
Who in peace and joy and love
Doth un­self­ish tho’ts and acts re­pay.

Refrain

If we un­to oth­ers give,
We’ll be ha­ppy while we live;
’Tis more blest to give than to re­ceive;
Let us cha­ri­ty dis­play,
Cast all self­ish­ness away,
Strive earth’s want and sor­row to re­lieve.

Refrain
