A CHRISTMAS PRAYER by HERBERT HENRY HINES

First Line: WE OPEN HERE OUR TREASURES AND OUR GIFTS
Last Line: ACCEPT THE GIFT AND ALL THE LIFE WE BRING.
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; NATIVITY, THE;

We open here our treasures and our gifts;
And some of it is gold,
And some is frankincense,
And some is myrrh;
For some has come from plenty,
Some from joy,
And some from deepest sorrow of the soul.
But Thou, O God, dost know the gift is love,
Our pledge of peace, our promise of good will.
Accept the gift and all the life we bring.
