Blessed Songs of Christmas

Representative Text

1 Blessed songs of Christmas pealing,
Merrily, merrily;
Tidings unto earth revealing,
Blessed songs of Christmas morn!

Refrain:
Sing, O sing today,
Sing a Saviour born;
Merrily, merrily, cheerily, cheerily,
Sing, O sing this Christmas morn;
Sing, O sing today,
Hail, O hail your King;
Merrily, merrily,
Glad songs sing.

2 Blessed songs of Christmas calling,
Merrily, merrily;
Joyfully your cadence falling,
Blessed songs of Christmas morn. [Refrain]

3 Blessed songs the strain repeating,
Merrily, merrily;
Tunefully the glad day greeting,
Blessed songs of Christmas morn. [Refrain]
