[church bells] [Hook] Hearts beat in time, (ding, dong) We gather by the manger,(ding, dong) in light so divine (ding, dong) Christmas bells are ringing (ding, dong) [Verse 1] From Viking halls to churches, traditions held tight, Through winters so long, we've cherished this light. In the heart of the darkness, a glow we have found, From the star over Bethlehem to homes all around. [Chorus] Christmas is more than glitter and cheer, It’s the hope that grows stronger, year after year. A sky so bright, a world so near, The magic of Christmas is always here. [Verse 2] A stable so humble, a sky full of grace, Where the Savior was born in this quiet place. The shepherds approached with awe in their eyes, As angels declared, "Peace for all, no disguise!" [Hook] Hearts beat in time, (ding, dong) We gather by the manger,(ding, dong) in light so divine (ding, dong) Christmas bells are ringing (ding, dong) [Bridge] And even as snow melts and the light fades away, The joy of this season forever will stay. A manger, a promise, a heavenly plan, We’re united in love, every woman and man. [Hook] Hearts beat in time, (ding, dong) We gather by the manger,(ding, dong) in light so divine (ding, dong) Christmas bells are ringing (ding, dong)
