Prophecy given us
Taught from these walls
Told us a Savior would come
And still we hold fast
To those words from the past
And believe

Oh yes, we believe in
Christmas, sing out
Christmas, let it ring out
Oh, we pray for Christmas
Christmas in America

Promises, promises
Foolish and vain
The time for your wonder has passed
For tradition you'll die
Lest your sign in the sky appear

Oh, it must appear as
A day and a night, Christmas
And a day that were light, Christmas
A day and a night, and a day that were light
Christmas in America

A troubled disciple falls to his knees
And prays to God up above
This is my prayer
That the people be spared their lives

Oh, spare them their lives and they'll
Sing out, Christmas
Let it ring out, Christmas
Christmas will save us
Christmas in America

Lift up your head
And be of good cheer
For behold the time is at hand
On this night shall the sign come
And on the morrow
Come I into the world

Oh, tomorrow I come from
A day and a night, Christmas
And a day that were light, Christmas
A day and a night, and a day that were light
Christmas in America
