Light All the Lanterns

Looking back at the year left behind Up ahead there's a new one in sight Sitting here thinking back and beyond The sound of the present rings clear As the bells toll and Christmas is here Songs and carols of long, long ago Carry memories more precious than gold Through the ages of love and of war Remember a child who was born As the bells toll on Christmas morn Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel Peace and joy, let sorrows melt Just like the snow upon the trees As winter passes on To spring, Oooo Look ahead, to the star in the east Follow closely, it leads to the King Weary dreamer, oh sleeper awake Gather the people, from every place Light all the lanterns and sing Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel Peace and joy, let sorrows melt Just like the snow upon the trees As winter passes on To spring Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel Peace and joy, let sorrows melt Just like the snow upon the trees As winter passes on (Gather the people) Oh come, oh come Emmanuel Peace and joy, let sorrows melt (Sorrows melt) Just like the snow upon the trees As winter passes on To Spring Oooh
