God Bless us Everyone
Alan Menken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let the stars in the sky remind us of man's compassion.
Let us have til we die and God bless us everyone.

In your heart there's a light as bright as the stars in heaven.
Let it shine through the night and God bless us everyone.

Til each child is fed
Til all men are free
Til now once he comes how happy!





Some bright star in the sky can find us by human kindness.
Let me love til I die and God bless us everyone!

Overall Meaning

The song "God Bless us Everyone" is a beautiful and heart-warming Christmas song composed by Alan Menken for the film "A Christmas Carol" (2009). The lyrics of the song beautifully portray the sentiment of compassion, love and kindness towards all mankind. The song begins with the line "Let the stars in the sky remind us of man's compassion", which can be interpreted as a reminder to us that we should always keep the value of empathy and kindness for others in our hearts. The next line, "Let us have til we die and God bless us everyone" is a plea for God's blessing on each and every one of us, as we strive towards kindness in our daily lives.


The next verse, "In your heart there's a light as bright as the stars in heaven. Let it shine through the night and God bless us everyone" is a message of hope – that each and every individual has the potential to be a shining light in a world that can often be dark and bleak. It is a reminder to let the light of good deeds and positivity shine through, so that we can all be blessed by the grace of God.


The last verse, "Til each child is fed, Til all men are free, Til now once he comes how happy! Some bright star in the sky can find us by human kindness. Let me love til I die and God bless us everyone!" packs a powerful message for all of us. It inspires us to strive towards a world where every child is fed and every individual is free – a world where love and compassion are the guiding principles. The reference to 'some bright star in the sky' finding us by human kindness is a nod to the idea that the smallest gestures of kindness can make a world of difference to someone's life.

"Til now once he comes how happy!" is wrong. The correct lyrics are "Til the world becomes a family."

"Let us LOVE til we die." Not "Let us HAVE til we die."

I've always liked the older Christmas movies so much more than newer ones. Please don't get me wrong...there are many wonderful currant movies today. Cool affects these days. Beautiful picture and color,too. But there's just something about the old one's that make me get all choked up inside.

I believe it is them. I loved right after they appear, the way Scrooge strongly and joyously joins in singing the last verse of the song. Seeing that, you can tell that he really has changed and intends on putting the messages of that beautiful song into practice in his own life from then on.

It is such a powerful moment when Scrooge looks up and sees his family there. I remember the first time I saw the film, that's where I really lost it. This is such a beautiful song and it's lyrics are completely true.

" A Christmas Carol-The Musical" 2004! My favorite! Watched it 3 times this Christmas season already. It's like going to a Broadway Show. Beautiful and Breathtaking! <3
