An angel returned   That night through the sky   But time it was short   He had to decide     And so as he flew   Back over the land   A gift for his Lord   Was there in his hand     It was the glow of a light   It was the heart of a song   It was the tear of a child   Where they never belonged   It was the wish of a soul   On an old neon light   And the Lord smiled at him   On that cold winter night     Hear as they ring through the night   Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Here the bells ring through the night     Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Hear as they ring through the night     Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Hear as they ring through the night     Listen to the bells as they ring   Listen to the message they bring   Listen to the sound   As they sing as one voice in the night     Hoping that we'll all understand   Every dream we have's in our hands   And for every bell   May they ring all through the night     Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Hear as they ring through the night     Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Kyrie among nations   Here as they ring through the night     Listen to the bells as they ring   Listen to the message they bring   Listen to the sound as they sing   As one voice in the night     Hoping that we'll all understand   Every dream we have's in our hands   And for every bell   May they ring all through your life     AND SO WITH HIS STORY OVER   AND OUR BOTTLE NEARLY THROUGH   I ASKED, DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN?   HE SWORE EVERY WORD WAS TRUE     THEN HE SAID I SEE YOU'RE PUZZLED   FOR YOUR MIND TELLS YOU TO DOUBT ME   THAT MY STORY CAN'T BE TRUE   BUT YOUR HEART TELLS YOU, IT MIGHT BE     HE THEN ASKED, DID IT ENTERTAIN ME   AND I ADMITTED IT HAD CHARM   THEN HE SAID PERHAPS YOU HEAVE LEARNED SOMETHING   OR AT WORST I'VE DONE NO HARM     THEN HE ROSE UP FROM HIS CHAIR   AND HE SAID IT'S TIME THAT HE SHOULD LEAVE   BYT MAY GOD KEEP AND PROTECT YOU   THIS AND EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE     THEN HE LEFT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR   AND I RAN OUT TO ASK HIM BACK   BUT HE WAS ALREADY GONE   AND STRANGER STILL HE LEFT NO TRACKS     SO I WALKED BACK TO MY HOME   RECALLING ALL I'VE HEARD AND SEEN   AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY CHILDHOOD   THAT NIGHT I DREAMED A CHRISTMAS DREAM     MERRY CHRISTMAS!
