Lyrics

While stars of Christ­mas shine,
Lighting the skies,
Let only loving looks
Beam from our eyes.

Refrain

For at this bless­èd time,
Long, long ago,
Christ Je­sus came,
Who lived God’s love to show.

While bells of Christ­mas ring,
Joyous and clear,
Speak on­ly hap­py words,
All love and cheer.

Refrain

Give on­ly lov­ing gifts,
And in love take,
Gladden the poor and sad
For love’s dear sake.
