The snow is gently falling down,
And a hush slowly quiets the countryside
The fire crackles as it glows
And the children all sing as they wait for the night.
This is the sound, the quiet sound
The joyful sound of Christmas
This is the sound, the endless sound,
The joyful sound of Christmas.
The jingle bells hang on the door
Foreshadowing magical nights in store
The laughter echoes through the air
As our loved ones are greeting each other with care.
This is the sound, the precious sound
The joyful sound of Christmas
This is the sound, the endless sound,
The joyful sound of Christmas.
The angels sing, their anthems ring
As the Child of Bethlehem comes this hour!
The quiet peace of fears released
As a heart is renewed by His saving pow'r.
This is the sound, the holy sound
The joyful sound of Christmas
This is the sound, the endless sound,
The joyful sound of Christmas.
