Transcript

A Christmas Dream From our happy home Through the world we roam One week in all the year Making winter spring With the joy we bring For Christmas-tide is here Now the eastern star shines from afar To delight the poorest home Hearts warmer grow Gifts freely flow For Christmas-tide has come Now gay trees rise Before young eyes Are bloom with tempting cheer Blight voices sing And blight bells ring For Christmas-tide is here O happy chime O blessed time That draws us all so near Welcome dear day All creatures say For Christmas-tide is here
