'A MERRIE Christmas' to you!
For we serve the Lord with mirth,
And we carol forth glad tidings
Of our holy Saviour's birth.
So we keep the olden greeting
With its meaning deep and true,
And wish 'a merrie Christmas'
And a happy New Year to you!

Oh, yes! 'a merrie Christmas,'
With blithest song and smile,
Bright with the thought of Him who dwelt
On earth a little while,
That we might dwell for ever
Where never falls a tear:
So 'a merrie Christmas' to you,
And a happy, happy year!
