Speaker 1: Bells across the snows, Oh Christmas, Merry Christmas, Is it
0:06
Speaker 1: really come again? With its memories and greetings, with its
0:10
Speaker 1: joy and with its pain. There's a miner in the carol,
0:15
Speaker 1: and a shadow in the light, and a spray of
0:18
Speaker 1: cypress twining with the holly wreath tonight, and the hush
0:23
Speaker 1: is never broken by laughter, light and low as we
0:27
Speaker 1: listen in the starlight to the bells across the snow,
0:32
Speaker 1: Oh Christmas, Merry Christmas. Tis not so very long since
0:37
Speaker 1: other voices blended with the carol and the song. If
0:41
Speaker 1: we could but hear them singing as they are singing now,
0:44
Speaker 1: if we could but see the radiance of the crown
0:47
Speaker 1: on each dear brow, there would be no sigh to smother,
0:52
Speaker 1: no hidden tear to flow as we listen in the
0:56
Speaker 1: starlight to the bells across the snow, Oh Christmas, Merry Christmas.
1:03
Speaker 1: This never more can be. We cannot bring again the
1:07
Speaker 1: days of our unshadowed glee. But Christmas, Happy Christmas, sweet
1:13
Speaker 1: Herald of good Will, with holy songs of glory, brings
1:18
Speaker 1: holy gladness still, for peace and hope may brighten, and
1:23
Speaker 1: patient love may glow. As we listen in the starlight
1:28
Speaker 1: to the bells across the snow.
