Lyrics[]
Holy holy, holy Christmas prayer
Holy holy, holy Christmas prayer
Though the windows gleam with light
And happy bells ring through the night
And though the children's faces shine
And though the greatest joy be mine
Though the Christmas tree be strung
With merry gifts for everyone
Though the yule log be aflame
And though your children bear my name
Bring us joy
Bring us peace
Bring the ones we love beside us
May His word yet be heard
May His golden love still guide us
And let us still take the time to share (time to share)
To sing this very holy Christmas prayer
Holy holy, holy Christmas prayer
Holy holy, holy Christmas prayer
Though the morn is clear and bright
And Christmas carols bring delight
And though Noël has well begun
And though the years have made us one
Though our home be rich with friends
And though our joyful laughter blends
Though happy angels fill the skies
And though our love shines through your eyes
Bring us joy
Bring us peace
Bring the ones we love beside us
May His word yet be heard
May His golden love still guide us
And let us still take the time to share (time to share)
To sing this very holy Christmas prayer
Bring us joy
Bring us peace
Bring the ones we love beside us
May His word yet be heard
May His golden love still guide us
And let us still take the time to share (time to share)
To sing this very holy Christmas prayer
Bring us joy
Bring us peace
Bring the ones we love beside us
May His word yet be heard
May His golden love still guide us
Bring us joy
Bring us peace
Bring the ones we love beside us
May His word yet be heard
May His golden love still guide us
