7602. The Wonderful Christmas Story

1. Let peace and joy in each life abide,
The Christ is born at this Christmastide;
O tell it out o’er the world so wide,
The wonderful Christmas story.

Refrain
O tell it out o’er the world so wide,
The glorious news of the Christmastide;
The Christ has come in each heart to abide—
O wonderful Christmas story!

2. Tho’ years have passed, still the song so dear
Thrills weary hearts with its notes of cheer;
Thro’ starlit skies once again we hear
The wonderful Christmas story. [Refrain]

3. Ring, merry bells, till the darkness glows,
While music sweet o’er the whole earth flows,
Till every soul in its gladness knows
The wonderful Christmas story. [Refrain]
