The tree is up and shining,
The stockings have been hung.
Santas on the mantle,
Carols to be sung.
Manger scene so precious,
God’s own little boy.
Here on earth to bless us.
Bringing hope and joy.
Children so excited,
World is all aglow.
Christmas will be coming,
Awaiting the first snow.
Carols sung with gladness,
Hope is all around.
The Christ child came to save us,
Our blessings to abound.
What’s your prayer this Christmas?
Peace to all mankind?
Fellowship with others?
Our hearts as one to bind?
No better present ever,
Than God’s own holy Son.
Seek Him first this Christmas,
So we can all be one.
A very blessed Christmas to you all. See you next year! Bye!
