11535. Merry, Merry Christmas!

1 Merry, merry Christmas everywhere!
Cheerily it ringeth through the air;
Christmas bells, Christmas trees,
Christmas odors on the breeze.
Merry, merry Christmas everywhere!
Cheerily it ringeth through the air;
Why should we so joyfully
Sing, with grateful mirth?
See! the Sun of Righteousness
Beams upon the earth!

2 Merry, merry Christmas everywhere!
Cheerily it ringeth through the air;
Christmas bells, Christmas trees,
Christmas odors on the breeze.
Merry, merry Christmas everywhere!
Cheerily it ringeth through the air;
Light of weary wanderers,
Comfort for th’oppressed!
He will guide His trusting ones
Into perfect rest.

3 Merry, merry Christmas everywhere!
Cheerily it ringeth through the air;
Christmas bells, Christmas trees,
Christmas odors on the breeze.
Merry, merry Christmas everywhere!
Cheerily it ringeth through the air;
Deeds of faith and charity,
These our offerings be;
Leading every soul to sing,
Christ was born for me!
