Christmas Day

Let joy come to you
And your loved ones too
On this happy morn
When the Christ was borne.
Let your voice be raised
In God’s glorious praise
‘Till the whole day is through!

Let hope fill the air.
Get up off your chair;
Dance with loved ones near,
Hear your fam’ly’s cheer!
When you’re tired out
Give a great big shout,
Then start the Christmas meal!

Children laugh and play
With toys right away.
Eggnog all around
Then we’re outward bound
To sing Christmas songs–
Seems like all night long–
Then Joe plays his guitar.

It’s no longer light:
We all say goodnight.
May the love we share
Be a simple prayer.
Jesus warm your heart
As we all depart
For the rest of the year.

Christmas dreams bring you near.
