[Verse 1]
Peace to the world from the
New Kids on the Block, we are here
We’re spreading all our joy
Spreading all our love and our cheers

[Verse 2]
Cheerful sleigh bells ring
Choir children sing
It’s peace and love
And harmony we bring

[Chorus]
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
To all our sisters and brothers
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
Let’s all of the world join our hands

[Verse 3]
There’s a feeling in the air
It’s beginning to look like Christmas everywhere
Hear the gentle sounds of the
Snowflakes trickle down without a care

[Verse 4]
People stop and stare
The Christmas tree is there
A star on top which
Nothing can’t compare

[Chorus]
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
To all our sisters and brothers
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
Let’s all of the world join our hands

[Bridge]
A time for me, a time for you
There’s enough of love
To last our whole life through

[Chorus]
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
It’s all about peace and understanding
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
Let’s all of the world join our hands
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
To all our sisters and brothers
Hail, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas
Let’s all of the world join our hands

[Outro]
Merry Christmas, you
Merry Christmas
Let’s all of the world join our hands
Let’s all of the world join our hands
Let’s all of the world join our hands
