We are happy little children, at the Christmas time,
See us gaily marching, marching, while our voices chime.
See the flag now wave before us, with its golden star,
Telling of the Child once born in Bethlehem afar.
Chorus:
Wave your banner, wave it gladly, sing in happy glee.
Let the Christmas chimes re-echo over land and sea.
Evergreen the Christmas story, never shall it die.
Red the color bright of glory, streaming from the sky.
Golden are the stars of Christmas in the heavens so high,
Glorious was the Star that shone afar in Syria’s sky.
Chorus:
Wave your banner, wave it gladly, with its golden star,
While the happy children’s voices echo near and far.
Let the Christmas joy and gladness in our hearts keep time,
While the Christmas bells are pealing forth their merry chime.
Let us all pass on the blessing sent us from above.
This the keynote of the day, the Christmas watch-word, “Love.”
Chorus:
Wave your banners, wave them gladly while your voices chime.
’Tis the golden time of year, the happy Christmas time.
