You can hear it in the ringing of bells And the soundest of stories. You can see it in the way the snow falls And the way the world is full of light. It is the magic all around us, From the stories of brighter stars And the idea that maybe Reindeer can fly in December And magic hats can bring cold men to life.
Right now There are some wrapping gifts to give And others are lighting candles, All the while The saints are outside singing Of the Messiah, Of God here with us, Of wishing you a merry Christmas And maybe we could join them.
But it’s a silent night And baby It’s cold outside So stay a while, Stay here in the warmth Of vivid lights and winter memories. And remember that the breath of heaven Exists just beyond us, Just beyond the firelight Where the smoke billows out of chimneys And where Nicholas watches and waits For us to fall asleep With dreams of sugarplums dancing.
And remember that faith Is something that keeps us warm And keeps our spirits merry. So deck the halls And let it snow, Because I have heard That there are saviors born Under the bright stars in Bethlehem stables, Meant to bring peace to all of us.
And right now There are living nativities And children rockin’ round evergreen trees, All the while There are angles in the sky singing Gloria, Of the Messiah. Singing of joy And maybe we should listen.
‘Cause it’s a holy night So remember Jacob Marley, And the little drummer boy. And remember the truth of the Christmas story, That it’s a wonderful life And that if Charllie Brown’s Christmas tree Taught us anything, Is that a little love can make us grow. So let it snow, let it snow, Let it snow.
