Merry Christmas

Christmas Day

The Christmas chimes are pealing high

Beneath the solemn Christmas sky,

And blowing winds their notes prolong

Like echoes from an angel's song;

Good will and peace, peace and good will

Ring out the carols glad and gay,

Telling the heavenly message still

That Christ the Child was born to-day.

In lowly hut and palace hall

Peasant and king keep festival,

And childhood wears a fairer guise,

And tenderer shine all mother-eyes;

The aged man forgets his years,

The mirthful heart is doubly gay,

The sad are cheated of their tears,

For Christ the Lord was born to-day.

(Susan Coolidge)
