On a night so still in Bethlehem
A star was burning bright
Shepherds watched their flocks in fields
And angels filled the night
"Peace on earth, good will to men
A child is born today
The Son of Love, the Prince of Peace
To guide us on our way"
Sing it loud, let the bells all ring
Joy to the world, let every heart sing
The story of Christmas, hope shining through
A gift of forever, for me and for you
Sing it loud, let the bells all ring
Joy to the world, let every heart sing
The story of Christmas, hope shining through
A gift of forever, for me and for you
The wise men traveled from afar they said
With gifts of myrrh and gold
They followed where the angelic starlight led
The ancient tale foretold
In a manger, humble and pure
The promised child was laid
And heaven's light broke through the dark
As earth and sky obeyed
Sing it loud, let the bells all ring
Joy to the world, let every heart sing
The story of Christmas, hope shining through
A gift of forever, for me and for you
Sing it loud, let the bells all ring
Joy to the world, let every heart sing
The story of Christmas, hope shining through
A gift of forever, for me and for you
From a cradle small, to a love so wide
The world was changed on that holy night
No crown of gold, no palace walls
But heaven's King was born for all
Sing it loud, let the bells all ring
Joy to the world, let every heart sing
The story of Christmas, hope shining through
A gift of forever, for me and for you
Sing it loud, let the bells all ring
Joy to the world, let every heart sing
The story of Christmas, hope shining through
A gift of forever, for me and for you
Sing it loud, let the choirs all rise
Glory to God, lift your hands to the skies
The story of Christmas, forever it stays
A promise of mercy, a chorus of praise!
Sing it loud, let the bells all ring
Joy to the world, let every heart sing
The story of Christmas, love's holy flame
Forever and ever, we'll sing out His name
The story of Christmas, shining so true...
A Savior was given, for me and for you
