Once, Again, It's Christmas-time

Once, Again, It's Christmas-time

Once, Again, It's Christmas-time

Once, again, it's Christmas-time
Songs I hear bring back to mind,
Singing carols with good cheer,
Jesus Christ's birthday is near
For the Lord left heav'n, His home
Felt compassion from the throne
In a manger He was born
So much love He had in store

Chorus:
Once, again, it's Christmas-time
Christmas-time, Christmas-time
Songs I hear, bring back to mind
That it's nearly Christmas-time

Once, again, it's Christmas-time
Winter wonders, God's design
Many gifts to those I share
Both to rich and poor I care
But the best gift one can bring
Is deep in the songs I sing
It's about that baby's birth
That's when God came down on earth

(chorus)

Once, again, it's Christmas-time
Songs I hear bring back to mind
Crowds of old and young abound
And it's joyful all around
How can you be down and sad?
When you're saved, why not be glad?
He is your good Shepherd friend.
And a strong One to defend.

(chorus)
