Lyrics Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis

The Sounds of Christmas

The snow is gently falling down,

And a hush slowly quiets the countryside

The fire crackles as it glows

And the children all sing as they wait for the night.

This is the sound, the quiet sound

The joyful sound of Christmas

This is the sound, the endless sound,

The joyful sound of Christmas.

The jingle bells hang on the door

Foreshadowing magical nights in store

The laughter echoes through the air

As our loved ones are greeting each other with care.

This is the sound, the precious sound

The joyful sound of Christmas

This is the sound, the endless sound,

The joyful sound of Christmas.

The angels sing, their anthems ring

As the Child of Bethlehem comes this hour!

The quiet peace of fears released

As a heart is renewed by His saving pow'r.

This is the sound, the holy sound

The joyful sound of Christmas

This is the sound, the endless sound,

The joyful sound of Christmas.
