We light the tree beside the table
We gather round with warm hellos
The streets are cold, the fire is faithful
Tell the story new, tell the story old
My father’s hair’s a little greyer
His eyes shine brighter than before
We share our stories, lift our prayers
Another year gone by
Let’s break the silent night
We’re gonna ring the bells on Christmas day
Let the light bring forth the dawn
We’re gonna ring the bells the joy proclaim
Giving us hope, helping us carry on
The choir sings and lights the candles
Our family fills the second row
It’s almost midnight in the chapel
‘Peace on earth’ we sing
New life is born again
Peace, peace, peace on earth
Good will to all
Peace, peace, peace on earth
Giving us hope, helping us carry on
We’re gonna ring the bells on Christmas day
Giving us hope, helping us carry on
