1 Let the laurel twine,
With the fragrant pine,
And the holly berries gay;
Let our hearts be light,
And our firesides bright,
On the happy Christmas Day.

Refrain:
Hail, hail, O hail the happy day!
"Joy, joy," O hear the angels say;
Let us cheer the sad
With the tidings glad,
"Unto you is born,"
Hear the blessèd word
"Unto you is born a Savior,
Christ, the Lord."

2 Trim the festive tree,
Keeping jubilee;
We will spread good will and cheer;
For the Savior born
Comforts those who mourn,
And His birthday now is here. [Refrain]

3 Outward signs of joy
We would not destroy,
While our we blessings recall;
But the blessèd love
Of the King above,
Is the greatest joy of all. [Refrain]
