Christmas remains the great day of days.

Concert. The day of the hope that casteth out fear,

The day of all days that brings good cheer

In the country’s peace and the city’s hum—

Christmas has come!

Solo. Now in the uttermost ends of the earth

The story is told of the Christ-child’s birth;

And millions, wherever the sun’s rays fall,

Are kin in the hope that is dear to all.

Concert. All over the lands and far out on the seas
