The lyrics to The Oxford Trinity Choir's song We Wish You a Merry Christmas express the sentiment of the season - wishing others a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The repetition of the opening line emphasizes the depth of the good wishes being offered, and is followed by a declaration that good tidings are being spread to all, no matter where they find themselves. The phrase "Good tidings" harks back to the Biblical story of the angels bringing good news to the shepherds, making the sentiment expressed in the lyrics all the more appropriate for the Christian celebration.
