The Chris­tmas times have come at last,
And mer­ry bells we hear;
The old year now is near­ly past,
The new one ve­ry near.

Refrain

Glad Christ­mas, then, has come again
And earth its trib­ute brings;
Let mu­sic swell the loud re­frain
Until the wel­kin rings.

A mer­ry Christ­mas un­to all!
And each one hap­py be!
And may no ac­ci­dent be­fall
This joy­ous com­pa­ny.

Refrain

With us are those who have been blest,
In Christ­mas times be­fore;
Others, who then were not our guests,
Are strang­ers here no more.

Refrain

Let all a hear­ty wel­come find
As oft we ga­ther here;
May love our kin­dred spir­its bind,
And joy dis­pel each fear.
