Gather round girls and boys, It's time to make your joyful noise Some feel it in the feast after the fast, Or the oil lamps everlasting, Or the Solstice in the wild,or the birth of a baby child.(chorus) It's your holiday song No one more true or right or wrong When our faith calls our name Someone else's does the same Hallelujah! Thank you. So gather round girls and boys It's time to raise your lowly noise Some feel it in the drum, in the snareor the silence of their prayeror the church bells on the hillor the harmony of goodwill(chorus) For every voice lifted in song The sacred place we all belong A chance to heal a broken worldwith every voice in every songof every boy and every girl!(chorus repeat)
