A loving atmosphere surrounds this day of festive cheer;
When happy family gatherings make home a place most dear.
Our hearts are kind and humble, and are tuned to sympathy,
This day of gifts and carols . . . children round the Christmas tree.
The blessed day that gave our Lord and our Redeemer birth,
His love divine to be a light to glorify the earth.
The mystic day when grace and human kindness reign supreme,
And life again is radiant with faith's effulgent gleam.
The spirit of the gentle Christ, seems hov'ring very near --
The joy of heaven reaches us, this glad day of the year.
