Lyrics Sample

Many, many years ago

Was the story often told,

About a baby King and the promising

Of a world that’s filled with love.

Many years have come and gone

But the promise still lives on,

For we all remember the baby born

In a lowly cattle stall,

In a manger filled with straw.

The bells ring out for Christmas!

The bells ring out for Christmas!

The choirs sing, the angels bring

Good news from God in all His glory!

The bells ring out for Christmas!

The bells ring out for Christmas!

And when they call, come one and all

To praise the Lord in all his glory now!
