It's Christmas time the chapel bells are ringing
  The valley and the hills are filled with song
  A time for peace while all the world is singing
  How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
  It's Christmas time when strangers smile at strangers
  A time of hope a time to right from wrong
  It's time to thank the baby in the manger
  How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
  Peace on earth good will to men seems a simply thing
  But when Christmas ends it passes like a dream
  It's Christmas time we put away our sorrow
  A time for joy for happiness and song
  We give thanks today but who thinks of tomorrow
  How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
