Listen to the song on YouTube

With all my heart I glorify the Lord!
In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

He has looked with favor on the low status of his servant.
Look! From now on, everyone will consider me highly favored
because the mighty one has done great things for me.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Holy is his name.
He shows mercy to everyone,
from one generation to the next,
who honors him as God.

He has shown strength with his arm.
He has scattered those with arrogant thoughts and proud inclinations.
He has pulled the powerful down from their thrones
and lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty-handed.

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

He has come to the aid of his servant Israel,
remembering his mercy,
just as he promised to our ancestors,
to Abraham and to Abraham’s descendants forever.

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

— “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” performed by Judy Garland + Luke 1:46-55
