Religion

A happy, happy Christmas

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From Christmas Verses

Religion

A happy, happy Christmas,
And a happy, happy year !
Oh, we have not deserved it,
And yet we need not fear.
For Jesus has deserved it,
And so, for Jesus' sake,
This cup of joy and blessing
With grateful hand we take.
