Happy Christmas

Author: Charles William Wendte Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13263 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Happy Christmas! Happy Christmas! Refrain First Line: Happy Christmas! Happy Christmas! Lyrics: 1 Happy Christmas! Happy Christmas! Hear thy music on the air! Bells are ringing, children singing, Love and gladness everywhere. E’en the saddest heart grows cheerful On this glorious Christmas morn; While above the sweet voiced angels Sing for joy that Jesus Christ is born. Refrain: Happy Christmas! Happy Christmas! Hear thy music on the air! Bells are ringing, children singing, Love and gladness everywhere. 2 Not alone in far Judea, Under Bethl’em’s starlit skies; In our hearts and homes the Christ-child Born anew, in beauty lies. Angel songs and pious raptures Humble folk and kings of earth, Joyous tidings, holy visions, Greet once more, Messiah’s hallowed birth. [Refrain] 3 Born anew in hearts made tender, Born anew in hearts made glad; To foretell the reign of goodness, And the downfall of the bad. Truth shall triumph over falsehood, Right be victor over wrong; Christian hearts! believe, proclaim it! Chant it in your grateful Christmas song! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Happy Christmas! Happy Christmas]
