Lyrics
God bless us all, God bless us everyone,
Come wipe away our tears, we need some Christmas cheer.
God bless us all, God bless us everyone,
In this the season of your gift of love, your Son.
Angels sang a song of joy announcing our Messiah's birth,
"He is born, the Prince of Peace, good will to all on earth."
Seems we've forgotten the joy you sent that night,
Lead us through the darkness to your shining Christmas light.
God bless us all, God bless us everyone,
Come wipe away our tears, we need some Christmas cheer.
God bless us all, God bless us everyone,
In this the season of your gift of love, your Son.
Still today the angels sing to heal a world that's torn apart,
How we need their hymns of hope to mend our aching hearts.
Father in heaven, you came to earth that night,
Come down once again to make things right.
God bless us all, God bless us everyone,
It's Christmastime, Lord, help us find your joy again.
God bless us all, God bless us everyone,
Come wipe away our tears, we need some Christmas cheer.
God bless us all, God bless us everyone,
In this the season of your gift of love, your Son.
