Beautiful Christmas Tide
Author: Alice Jean Cleator Hymnal: The Service of Praise #163 (1900) First Line: Beautiful Christmas time Refrain First Line: The Christmas light shines o’er us Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Christmas time
Once more we greet,
Telling in song and chime,
A story sweet—
Story of One who came
From courts above,
That all who hear his name
Might know his love.
Refrain:
The Christmas light shines o’er us,
It lights the way before us,
Sweet bells in silver chorus
Proclaim the glad news of Heav’n!
The angels bright are singing
That Jesus Christ is born,
The angels are singing,
The glad bells are ringing
The birth of Immanuel.

Of Christ the King. [Refrain]
