110. Merry, Merry Christmas

1 Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
One and all;
Hear again the wondrous story,
How the Lord, the King of Glory,
Left his shining home on high,
Came to suffer and to die,
Came to save a world from woe,
All because he loved us so.
Come, then, let us raise,
One glad song of praise,
Praise to him by whom the day we call;
Wishing verily,
Bidding merrily,
In his name a "merry Christmas," all!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, all!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, all!

2 Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
One and all;
Christ the Savior, high and holy,
Heeds the lofty and the lowly;
He, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Will rejoice with us to-day.
Will his choicest gifts bestow,
All because he loved us so.
Come, then, let us raise,
One glad song of praise,
Praise to him by whom the day we call;
Wishing verily,
Bidding merrily,
In his name a "merry Christmas," all!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, all!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, all!
