A Christmas Hymn

May you have comfort and joy

In this season of merriment,

As we remember, each in his own way,

The time of year God’s Son was sent.

To show forth joy and peace on earth

And give an example of love to the hearts of men,

To save the souls of God’s people,

The Christ Child to the earth did descend.

In the spirit if Christmas

I wish you glad tidings.

May the Star of God’s greatness

Be o’er your life shining.

If in the oncoming year

We all could remember

The ideals we hold dear

In the month of December;

There would really be “Peace on Earth

And Good Will Toward All Men,”

Instead of pretty words in

A Christmas Hymm.

Whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of the year I hope it’s a happy and blessed one!
