Christmas Eve

Softly drifting throug the country

like a starry greeting from heaven

weave your new love's band to

embrace the whole wide world.

Each heart with strong desire

will gladly make the necessary sacrifices,

for the celebration of God's love,

for Christmas time is near.

And the brilliant sky has already been

illuminated with thousands of stars,

to a faraway solemn sound

drifting softly through the Holy Night.

Brightly shines from every window

the Christmas trees' enchanting light,

and happiness paints a glow

on every face.

Heaven's shiny heralds float

unnoticed from house to house;

blessedly giving, blessedly receiving

Conveying from their midst.

Oh welcome, Christmas eve,

to all mankind, grown or small!

May you bring peace, joy and

nourishment to all hearts.
