From Wikipedia:
"Christmas Time Is Here" is a popular Christmas song written by Lee Mendelson and Vince Guaraldi for the 1965 TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas,[1] one of the first animated Christmas specials produced for network TV in the United States. Because the song became a hit, two versions were included on the album A Charlie Brown Christmas: an instrumental version by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and a vocal version by choristers from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in San Rafael, California.

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer Fun for all that children call Their favorite time of the year Snowflakes in the air Carols everywhere Olden times and ancient rhymes Of love and dreams to share Sleigh bells in the air Beauty everywhere Yuletide by the fireside And joyful memories there Christmas time is here We'll be drawing near Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year |

Here's the melody, with the two measures of rest at the begining of each verse.
The rehearsal videos above have been placed for the benefit of the choir by fellow choir member Klaus Obermeit. In gratitude for his efforts, the choir created the following video:
Just for fun:
All People That on Earth Do Dwell
Hymn 370
These are the words we will be singing:
Words By: William Kethe
recast by Alicia S. Carpenter
All people that on earth do dwell,
sing ye aloud with cheerful voice;
Let hearts in exultation swell;
come now together and rejoice.
O welcome in this day with praise;
Approach with joy your God unto;
give thanks, and faith proclaim always,
For it is seemly so to do.
For we believe that life is good,
love doth abide forever more;
truth, firmer than a rock hath stood,
and shall from age to age endure.

This is the time for singing,
This is the time for song;
This is the time for singing,
Singing the whole day long;
This is the time for playing tunes
and dancing light in the morning,
This is the time for singing,
This is the time for song!
This is the time for praising,
praising the Lord on high;
This is the time for raising voices that will not die;
This is the time for praising God,
and singing loud in the morning,
This is the time for singing,
this is the time for song.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
This is the time for singing,
This is the time for song;
This is the time for singing,
Singing the whole day long
This is the time for praising God,
and singing loud in the morning.
This is the time for singing,
This is the time for joy!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
This is the time for joy!
