Christmas Spirit |
| Praises sing to Christ the King |
| And peace to men on earth |
| On Christmas Eve I dreamed I traveled all around the earth |
| And in my dream I saw and heard the ways the different people |
| Hail the king whose star shone in the east and what a dream it was |
| In London Town I walked around Piccadilly Circus |
| A mass of people movin' here and there, I wondered where |
| On every face at every place was, Hurry up, I’m late |
| But a kind old man at a chestnut stand said, Merry Christmas mate |
| And I felt the Christmas spirit |
| In a little town nestled down in Bavaria Germany |
| I walked along to see what the feeling there would be |
| And here again was the busy din, the rushing, the yelling |
| But some kind boy said, Frohliche Weihnachten |
| Not understanding the words but getting the buying and selling |
| I felt the Christmas spirit |
| In Bethlehem I heard a hymn, some distant choir sang |
| And with other tourists I walked along to a Church as its bells rang |
| Then I heard someone tell someone, There’s where Christ was born |
| I wonder if He looked like our baby looked on that first morn |
| And then I really felt the Christmas spirit |
| From a businessman in the Holy Land at a sidewalk souvenirshop |
| I bought a little Bible since I’d already stopped |
| And it was in Paris France somehow by chance that I took the Bible out |
| As I flipped the pages I saw these words |
| And I knew what it was all about |
| For I read, «Fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy |
| Which shall be to all people |
| For unto you He was born this day in the City of David, a Saviour |
| Which is Christ the Lord» |
| Then I took the little Holy Book, held it close and tight |
| I closed my eyes and visualized the glory of that night |
| So suddenly it came to me for when I awoke on Christmas Day |
| I felt the Christmas spirit down deep inside to stay |
| O little town of Bethlehem how still we see Thee lie |
| Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by |
| Yet in Thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light |
| The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight |
