At Christmas Season's glad return
We watch the candles brightly burn,

And you of friendly face and name
Gather around the merry flame.

O what added joy and glow
The thoughts of loving friends bestow!

To each about the circle wide
Be peace and cheer of Christmas tide;

And from these happy memories
May hopes arise and prophecies

Of wid'ning purposes of good,
And God's rich love be understood.
