The Christmas melodies ring out
So many songs of joy
Their quality is fairly high
To craft skill was employed
Unlike in all the other months
We know love traditions hymn
I’m not sure why but it just is
I won’t go on a limb
And try to say exactly why
But I will not complain
To hear the songs of yesteryear
Come out upon the plain
The songs we sang in olden times
Passed down to us from then
Before the printing press would run
Or paper would meet pen
The melodies were written up
To celebrate a King
Whose birth was such a great event
We can’t but help to sing
