This Is Merry Christmas Day Lyrics

1. This is merry Christmas Day,
All joy is abounding,
Children join the happy lay,
Sweet music is sounding;
Gladdest day of all the year,
Christmas time again is here,
Sing for joy, sing for joy,
Glad Christmas is here.

[Refrain].
Christmas, happiest day!
Christmas, merry and gay!
Ring the joy bells far and near,
For Christmas again is here.

2. This is merry Christmas Day,
Hark! joy-bells are ringing;
In the steeples swing and sway,
Good tidings they're bringing;
Joy and peace their chiming tells,
Mellow, silver-throated bells,
Gaily ring, gaily ring
Sweet silvery bells. [Refrain].

3. This is merry Christmas Day,
Cease now from thy sadness;
Ev'ry one is bright and gay,
Come, share in the gladness;
Sing for joy this happy morn,
Christ the Lord today is born,
Sing today, sing today,
Our Saviour is born. [Refrain].
