Intro: F-Bb-; Dm-- 

  Dm 
   Whenever I see girls and boys 
            Gm           A 
   Selling lanterns on the streets 
       Gm       
   I remember the Child 
        A            Dm 
   In the manger as He sleeps  
  Dm   
   Wherever there are people 
        D7                 Gm 
   Giving gifts, exchanging cards 
        Gm        Dm 
   I believe that Christmas 
      A               Dm
   Is truly in their hearts

         C                  F 
   Let's light our Christmas trees 
     C           F 
   For a bright tomorrow 
        C              F 
   Where nations are at peace 
     E                Am-C7 
   And all are one in God

             Chorus
      F 
   Let's sing Merry Christmas 
    Bb 
   And a happy holiday 
      C     
   This season, may we never forget 
        Gm      C          F 
   The love we have for Jesus 
     F 
   Let Him be the One to guide us 
      Bb 
   As another new year starts 
    C 
   And may the spirit of Christmas 
        Gm   C          F    A,Dm--
   Be always in our hearts 

  Dm
   In every prayer and every song
         Gm        A
   The community unites
        Gm          
   Celebrating the birth
         A            Dm
   Of our Savior, Jesus Christ
  Dm
   Let love, like that starlight
            D7             Gm
   On that first Christmas morn
                      Dm
   Lead us back to the manger
           A                  Dm
   Where Christ the Child was born

        C           F
   So, come let us rejoice
           C           F
   Come and sing a Christmas carol
      C          F
   With one big joyful voice
      E                      Am-C7
   Proclaim the name of the Lord

                      F 
               ... hearts

                      F#-B-F#-B-F#
