Listen to the sleigh bells ring
Their tinkling sounds delight
Young and old gather 'round
The Christmas square tonight.

Sing of joy and peace on earth
Good will to all mankind.
Voices echo through the hills
Of precious love divine.

As the stars in heav'n above
Cast down their brilliant glow
Angels sing along with man
While gazing down below.

Christmas time is in the air
And with it comes the hope
A Savior born in Bethlehem
So many years ago.

Let peace now reign in your heart
And joyful praise proclaim
The wondrous gift our Father gave
Emmanuel...His name!
