Intro verse 1 A stranger came to old London town On a Christmas morn’ And his eyes were soft as the snow coming down His smile as gentle as dawn All around there were bright Christmas windows But he scarcely noticed their glow ‘Cause his heart went out to a little match girl ) Kneeling there in the snow Oh merry Christmas, oh merry Christmas ) Oh season of heavenly peace verse 2 Her clothes were threadbare And many a patch the wintery storm And her trembling fingers kept striking a match Trying so to keep warm From each house she could hear happy voices As the smoke from the chimneys would curl But the doors were (a) barred and the hearts were closed ) To the little match girl Oh merry Christmas, oh merry Christmas ) Oh season of heavenly peace verse 3 Her last match flickered due just a faint blow When heaven heard her despair And the stranger fashioned a gown from the snow A cape of sunbeams to wear Then he cried as he cried once before As he slowly took her away Oh forgive them they know not what they do ) But they will know some day Oh merry Christmas, oh merry Christmas Oh season of heavenly peace
