Christmas Day

Author: Mrs. M. L. Seymour Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16436 First Line: Under cold De­cem­ber skies Refrain First Line: On this mer­ry, mer­ry Christ­mas day Lyrics: 1 Under cold De­cem­ber skies, Verdant na­ture frost­bound lies, Lending nei­ther charm nor grace To this fes­tive, hap­py place. Tell me, then, O what is this— Charms the sens­es, lights the face? Why are all these pret­ty toys Ready for the girls and boys? 2 Nature’s bonds of ice and snow Melt be­neath the sun’s warm glow— Long ago, and far away, Christ was born on Christ­mas day. Wise men guid­ed by His star, Sought the Sav­ior from afar. Precious of­fer­ings brought to Him, To the long-ex­pect­ed King. Refrain: On this mer­ry, mer­ry Christ­mas day, We come with hearts so light and gay; Merry, mer­ry Christ­mas we will sing, And grate­ful­ly our off’­rings bring. Happy hearts we bring! Cheerful songs we sing! And mer­ri­ly the church bells ring; Happy hearts we bring! Cheerful songs we sing! And mer­ri­ly the church bells ring. 3 Why do you so ve­ry long Keep His birt­hday when He’s gone? Give to oth­ers what you bring On the birth­day of a king? Other birth­days die with men, Why so long re­mem­ber Him? Why the lone­some ev­er­green Bring to deck the Christ­mas scene? 4 Promised long, God’s on­ly Son Blessing brought to ev­ery one; May we long remember Him In the off’rings that we bring. He is with us, though away, Making glad the Christ­mas day. In this change­less ev­er­green His un­chang­ing love is seen. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Under cold De­cem­ber skies]
