Christmas

Christmas is here and joy is ours,
Christmas, the time of songs and flowers,
Flowers of kindness, songs of cheer,
The gala season of all the year.

Christmas is here and eyes are bright.
Homes are happy, and hearts are light,
Hands are open and man is blest,
This golden season of sweet unrest.

Christmas is here and “peace--good will!”
Echoes along from hill to hill;
Gifts are ready and hope is strong,
This grateful season of joy and song.
