Christmas Day comes once each year,
The bells ring joy so loud and clear.
Rejoice and praise with godly fear,
Come celebrate, Love has appeared!
Marvel at our Savior’s birth,
The Light has dawned upon the earth.
Join your voices, sing with mirth
Wonder at His matchless worth!
Revel in that Grace filled day,
Christ descended to obey,
Raise your hearts and kneel to pray,
Our Jesus came to make the way!
The Author of Salvation’s plan,
Fulfilled the holy, high command,
Born a Baby, died a Man
Bow your heart and lift your hand!
Yes, trumpet praise and fan to flame,
The Spirit’s Fire and Holy Fame,
Christmas Day, give wide acclaim
Shout His glory, Laud His Name!
