The Spirit of Christmas lyrics

In this season cometh the spirit of Christmas

Not a spectre who haunts to bring fear

But a ghost of the future, present, and past

He who holds memories to us so dear

But one day a year he does then come

To all parts of the world he does fly

Joy and hope and cheer to all, everyone

Brightening each heart today not to cry

If you look for the spirit he will pass there

No matter where you are he will find you

In the smallest little thing almost anywhere

No matter how you feel, no matter what you do

The spirit of Christmas for a brief time

Gladdens the soul, heals all wounds bound

Through the cathedrals then will all day chime

The song of the heart sings a sweeter sound
