There is a joy that springs anew
Each day the holidays are due
And now that Christmastime is here
It is the best of all this year.
I love remembering the sound
Of blessed music all around
With songs and voices ringing out
And children singing hymns devout.
The love of God and all our kin
Are blessings we can revel in
May all the years that lay ahead
Have sugar plums dance in our head !
