Before we part again this happy time
A hymn we raise while glad bells o’er us chime;
We sing the wondrous glories of our Lord;
Our voices blend with glad refrains in sweet accord.

Refrain

All praise to Christ our king; His love forever sing;
In fervent adoration our hearts unite;
His rule o’er earth proclaim; exalt His holy name
And hail again with happy song the holy night.

The hours, so fleet, are filled with thoughts of love;
Good will and peace sent down from Heav’n above;
Our friends we meet with smiles and words of cheer;
A golden day of cherished memories ends the year.

Refrain

Around our hearts its spirit weaves a spell;
Farewell, we say, in all things fare thee well.
May all we love have showers of blessings rare
And in the joy of many Christmas festals share.

Refrain
