Traditional

1. Back up in the mountains in the old home town of mine
There's not a brighter time of year, than that of Christmas time
The bells in the little church, they'll all begin to chime
Telling all for miles around, rejoice, it's Christmas time

Ch. Christmas bells are ringing, I hear their chimes so sweet
The carolers are singing now, I hear them in the street
Outside the white snow falling, inside my heart I find
A world of joy and peace on earth, back home at Christmas time

2. A candle in each window, they give a golden glow
While out among the shimmering pines, lights sparkle in the snow
And through the lonely mountain tops, the wind shrill echoes sigh
For peace on earth, good will toward men and faith that will not die

Ch.

3. High above our little town, so bright to be so fine
There shines upon the whole wide world, his gift our guiding star
Every one in each home can feel a peace of land
And know the joy the yuletine brings to all at Christmas time

Ch.

A world of joy and peace on earth, back home at Christmas time
