O’er the hills and adown the snowy dells,
As the ech­oes ring of the Christ­mas bells,
Angel songs in our hearts re­sound again,
Singing peace on earth and good will to men!

Refrain

Bring pine and fir tree, weave the gar­lands bright,
Gladden the tem­ple of the King to­night!
Christmas is here! Fill it with cheer;
Make it glo­ri­ous with joy and light.

Bring good will to the suf­fer­ing and sad;
Speak the ten­der word that shall make them glad;
Tell them how, o’er the hills of Beth­le­hem
When the ang­els sang, ’twas good news for them.

Refrain

Peace on earth! bid all strife and tu­mult cease;
For this night again gives the Lord His peace;
While our hands shall His tem­ple beau­ti­fy,
Carol, glo­ry be un­to God most high.

Refrain

So glad hearts on this hap­py Christ­mas night
Bring your gifts of love, make His al­tar bright;
Sing glad songs that shall sweet­ly sound as when
Angels sang of peace and good will to men.
