There’s a hap­py song
That’s ring­ing on the air,
’Tis the song that hearts
Are sing­ing ev­ery­where;
At the mer­ry Christ­mas time
Tuneful bells the mes­sage chime,
And its ho­ly peace
And glad­ness all may share!

Refrain

Happy Christ­mas! Sweet­ly echo,
Star of Christ­mas, bright­ly shine!
Till the world shall hear the mes­sage,
And shall seek the Babe di­vine!

There’s a won­drous star
That’s shin­ing o’er the earth,
’Tis the star that tells
The world of Je­sus’ birth;
Every seek­ing soul ’twill guide
At the hap­py Christ­mas tide,
When the hearts of men
Are filled with ho­ly mirth!

Refrain

O the hap­py song
Is sound­ing far and wide,
And the heav’n­ly star
Will ev­er be our guide;
And the Christ who came in love,
Bringing bless­ings from above,
In the heart that’s pure
And truth­ful will abide!

Refrain
