May every light that glistens
On every Christmas tree
May every decoration
We hang for all to see
May all our old traditions
We choose to carry on
The memories we cherish
Remind us of the One
As we rest together
Beside the fire's glow
And read the greatest story
The one that won't grow old
The joy of Christmas morning
With family in our home
And all the children's laughter
Remind us of the One
Behold, gaze in wonder
Jesus the promised one
Hope of glory born to save
We rejoice this Christmas day
This Christmas we'll remember
With every song we sing
With every gift that's given
And every gift received
This Christmas we'll remember
The one who came for us
Love was born, our Savior
Jesus, God with us
Behold, gaze in wonder
Jesus the promised one
Hope of glory born to save
We rejoice this Christmas day
Behold, gaze in wonder
Jesus the promised one
Hope of glory born to save
We rejoice
We rejoice on this Christmas day
