[Music & Words: Paul O'Neill]

[1.]
God rest ye merry gentlemen
God rest ye merry gentlemen

[simultaneously - add a new stanza each second time]

[2.]
There up in the sky a star to follow
There up in the sky a star to follow
There up in the sky a star to follow

[3.]
All
Await the coming of the Lord
Await the coming of the Lord

Await the coming of the...

Christmas
Lead and we'll follow
Hope and tomorrow
Magic and dreams

You are all this and more now
Childhood recalls how
You are
Visions and...

Christmas
We are your children
You take us back when
Ever we call
Each year we are here waiting
Anticipating
As the snow starts to fall

[1.]
To fall...
To fall...
To fall...
To fall...

[2.]
Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas

[simultaneously - add a new stanza each second time]

[3.]
Ornaments and evergreens
With packages as yet unseen
All wrapped in paper
Colored bright
Reflecting candles in the night
With carolers and mistletoe
And stockings all hung in a row
Or fireplaces glowing red
With children safely sent to bed

[4.]
Ring the bells, Ring the bells
Let the churches ring the bells!

[5.]
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let his light shine on everyone

[All together]
Everyone
Everyone
Everyone...

Christmas lead and we'll follow...

FROM LONDON, ROME AND PARIS
TO BERLIN AND TOKYO
WINTER NEVER REALLY STARTS
UNTIL IT'S GIVEN ITS FIRST SNOW
