The light of the Christmas star to you
The warmth of a home and hearth to you
The cheer and good will of friends to you
The hope of a childlike heart to you
The joy of a thousand angels to you
The love of the Son and God’s peace
to you
God grant you lightness in your step
A smile on every face you meet
Loved ones gathered at your hearth
And at your door, good friends to greet
A holy hymn upon your lips
A window candle burning bright
And may the Good Lord bless your heart
And come to dwell here Christmas night
Little Jesus of the crib
Give us the virtues of those that surround you
Make us philosophical as the fisherman
Carefree as the drummer
Merry in exploring the world as the troubadour
Eager for work as the bugler
Patient as the spinner
Kind as the ass
Strong as the ox that keeps you warm
May peace and plenty be the first to lift the latch at your door
And happiness be guided to your home by the candle of Christmas
God’s blessings and peace be yours this day and evermore
