[Verse 1]
Em D C Em
So bright, jewel in the night,
Em D
there in my window below.
Em D C Em
So bright, dark as the night,
D Em
with all of our cities aglow.
G D
It’s long been our way, to honour this day,
F Bm
And offer goodwill to men.
Em D C Em
And know wherever we go,
D Em
It’s come round to Christmas again.
[Verse 2]
Em D C Em
So far, shines every star,
Em D
there without limit to see.
Em D C Em
So grand, far-away land,
D Em
beckoning, calling to me.
G D
And let it be shown, wherever we go,
F Bm
In all of the wonders above.
Em D C Em
With all that we bring, there’s no finer thing,
D Em
Than this message, this promise of Love.
[Chorus]
Em D C Em
Love for the families that gather below.
Em D C Em
Love for the stranger that you never know.
C Am
For those who aren’t with you;
G B7
Who wander above…
[Verse 3]
Em D C Em
So bright, jewel in the night,
Em D
there lies the cradle we knew.
Em D C Em
The home of, all that we love,
D Em
and all of our memories too.
G D
It shall be our way, to wander away,
F Bm
And take with us all that we know.
Em D C Em
And never cease, this message of Peace,
D Em
From Bethlehem so long ago.
[Outro]
Em D C Em
And never cease, this message of Peace,
D Em
From Bethlehem so long ago.
