Christmas Time

Christmas time, with all the chimes,

How beautiful the sound:

God bless you! God bless you too!

Can be heard the world round.

So many places, with heartfelt faces,

Children filled with glee!

Carols sung with many a tongue,

as lights twinkle on the tree.

Cookie baking, candy making,

aromas fill the air.

Card exchanging, flower arranging,

with expertise and care.

Old friends meeting,

strangers greeting each other as they pass by:

Memories reliven, old hurts forgiven,

as Christmas day draws nigh.

The hungry fed, the homeless bed,

as we strive for unity:

Together we give, for together we live,

in peace and harmony.

The good Lord’s plan, for every man,

is still the same sweet song.

To live each day in every way,

that says Christmas all year long!
