green and silver red and gold
and the story born of old
truth and love and hope abide
this Christmastide this christmastide
holy ivy mistle toe
and the gently falling snow
truth and love and hope abide
this christmastide this christmastide
from a simple oxstall
came the greatest gift of all
truth and love and hope abide
this christmastide this christmastide
children sing of hope and joy
at the birth of one small boy
truth and love and hope abide
this christmastide this christmastide
let the bells ring out and clear
ring out now for all to hear
truth and love and hope abide
this christmastide this christmastide
trumpets souds and voices raise
in an endless stream of praise
truth and love and hope abide
this christmastide this christmastide
green and silver red and gold
and the story born of old
peace and love and hope abide
this christmastide this christmastide
