Subject(s): Christmas Carols; Radio; Singing & Singers; Sound; Songs


I heard the radio proclaim
The wonder of a lighted land;
The beauty of the seaside strand,
The hush of woods where snow path lies;
The glory of the great clear skies,
The sweet, clear note of silver chimes,
And sound of sleigh bells far away,
I heard at dawn on Christmas day.

I heard at dawn on Christmas day
The far off carol of a song,
A carol borne through ages long,
Peace upon earth, goodwill to men.
The glory of an opened sky,
The beauty of a temple high.
And wonder chimes from Heaven sent
Through all the earth,
I heard at dawn on Christmas day.

I heard the radio bells proclaim
The glory of the Christmas day
The beauty of the great yule tree,
Reaching through space in wonder far
Toward the glory of a star.
The holly and the mistletoe,
And all the storied carols old,
I heard the radio bells proclaim
The glory of a matchless Name.
