Christmas

Holy night, on angels' wing

Bends to earth so still and bright.

Merry bells, I hear them ring,

And the windows all alight.

Poorest hut abounds with bliss

And the children thankful, proud,

Offering their sweetest kiss

They all cheer to God aloud.

Holy night, with all thine light

Solemnly I see descend.

Star of life, so grand and bright,

Take my heart, my knees are bent.

Lo, in heaven and on earth

Peace and love spread sparkling shine.

Peace and love and pious mirth,

Mankind, be the kingdom thine.
