[Intro]
F Bb   Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm
Whenever I see girls and boys
         Gm           A
Selling lanterns on the streets
    Gm
I remember the Child
     A            Dm
In the manger as He sleeps
Dm
Wherever there are people
  D7                 Gm
Giving gifts, exchanging cards
     Gm      Dm
I believe that Christmas
   A                Dm
Is truly in their hearts


[Pre-chorus 1]
      C               F
Let's light our Christmas trees
  C          F
For a bright tomorrow
   C           F
Where nations are at peace
  E          Am C7
And all are one in God


[Chorus]
   F
Let's sing Merry Christmas
 Bb
And a happy holiday
   C
This season, may we never forget
               F
The love we have for Jesus
  F
Let Him be the One to guide us
   Bb
As another new year starts
 C
And may the spirit of Christmas
          F      Am
Be always in our hearts


[Verse 2]
Dm
In every prayer and every song
    Gm        A
The community unites
   Gm
Celebrating the birth
    A           Dm
Of our Savior, Jesus Christ
Dm
Let love, like that starlight
     D7                 Gm
On that first Christmas morn
    Gm      Dm
Lead us back to the manger
 A                Dm
Where Christ the Child was born


[Pre-chorus 2]
   C               F
So, come let us rejoice
    C          F
Come and sing a Christmas carol
    C           F
With one big joyful voice
    E          Am C7
Proclaim the name of the Lord!


[Chorus]
   F
Let's sing Merry Christmas
 Bb
And a happy holiday
   C
This season, may we never forget
               F
The love we have for Jesus
  F
Let Him be the One to guide us
   Bb
As another new year starts
 C
And may the spirit of Christmas
          F      Am
Be always in our hearts
