¶Lyrics / Text

1. Are you low at this slow time of year, in the dark not a spark of good cheer? Then lift up your voice and we'll help you rejoice, you can start with your heart in the clear. It's the greatest of tales ever told, of the frankincense, myrrh and the gold. The wise men saw gravely the shepherds so bravely a new world from out of the old. Day is dawning Christmas morning the happiest day of the year. Church bells ringing people singing proclaiming the Christchild is here. 2. Never worry to think where you are, you can worship the child from afar. 'Cause all through the ages like shepherds and sages, we've followed the light of the star. We can take you away from this gloom, with a cheerful repeat of our tune. So think when you're leaving the message believing to fill up your heart if there's room. Day is dawning Christmas morning the happiest day of the year. Church bells ringing people singing proclaiming the Christ-child, the giver of light child, destroyer of fear, Emmanuel here on the happiest day of the Year.
