It’s one a.m. and I can’t get to sleep
Advent songs fill my head and heart complete
’Tis the season of good tidings, good and sweet
Shared wherever friends and strangers meet


The sun is out and shining on this town
Shapes and colours of red and green abound
Sharing peace on earth and mercy raining down
Life and love and laughter all around
What a wonderful sound


Leave your sorrows at the door
Come one, come all


Sing a song, come join the chorus
Fill the air with bells and voices
Tell the world the Saviour has come
Celebrate, Christmas time is here


So join in celebration of this gift
Grace that frees us so that we can truly live
Freely given so that we can freely give
Mercy, brother, sister, neighbor, friend
I said, young and old


Sing a song, come join the chorus
Peace is here to live among us
Let the good news fill the whole world
Celebrate, Christmas time is here


Oh, we sing about it
Oh, we dance about it
Oh, give thanks about it
Oh, come celebrate it
