We do not need, dear friend, to seek
Down tortuous years,
The blessed light
Of Christmas night;
For, here, beside each little, weak,
Sweet, sleeping child,
Where mother mild
Shall come to kneel and lowly pray,
We catch the grace
Of Christ's dear face
And radiance of Christmas Day!

And all the candle points in rows
On little trees
Have in their power,
This holy hour,
To lead us where the great Star glows
With steadier light
Than that first night;
For where the heart shall bid Christ stay
There love is born,
There is the morn
And jubilance of Christmas Day!
