This Christmastide (Jessye's Carol)

Green and silver red and gold
And the story born of old
Truth and love and hope abide
This Christmastide this christmastide

Holy ivy mistle toe
And the gently falling snow
Truth and love and hope abide
This christmastide this christmastide

From a simple oxstall
Came the greatest gift of all
Truth and love and hope abide
This christmastide this christmastide

Children sing of hope and joy
At the birth of one small boy
Truth and love and hope abide
This christmastide this christmastide

Let the bells ring out and clear
Ring out now for all to hear
Truth and love and hope abide
This christmastide this christmastide

Trumpets souds and voices raise
In an endless stream of praise
Truth and love and hope abide
This christmastide this christmastide

Green and silver red and gold
And the story born of old
Peace and love and hope abide
This christmastide this christmastide
