Joyful chimes are ringing
O'er the land and seas,
And there comes glad singing,
Borne on every breeze.
Little ones so merry
Bed-clothes coyly lift,
And, in such a hurry,
Prattle "Christmas gift!"
Little heads so curly,
Knowing Christmas laws,
Peep out very early
For old "Santa Claus".
Little eyes are laughing
O'er their Christmas toys,
Older ones are quaffing
Cups of Christmas joys.
Hearts are joyous, cheerful,
Faces all are gay;
None are sad and tearful
On bright Christmas day.
Hearts are light and bounding,
All from care are free;
Homes are all resounding
With the sounds of glee.
Feet with feet are meeting,
Bent on pleasure's way;
Souls to souls give greeting
Warm on Christmas day.
Gifts are kept a-going
Fast from hand to hand;
Blessings are a-flowing
Over every land.
One vast wave of gladness
Sweeps its world-wide way,
Drowning every sadness
On this Christmas day.
Merry, merry Christmas,
Haste around the earth;
Merry, merry Christmas,
Scatter smiles and mirth.
Merry, merry Christmas,
Be to one and all!
Merry, merry Christmas,
Enter hut and hall.
Merry, merry Christmas,
Be to rich and poor!
Merry, merry Christmas
Stop at every door.
