Christmas thoughts they give delight While with care we cope, Brightening the darkest night With the star of hope. Oh, when earth friends are so dear, Earthly joys so sweet, Then indeed is heaven near, Life itself complete. Christmas thoughts what jewels rare, On the soul’s white shrine; Beautiful beyond compare, Sent by Love Divine. But the greatest gift of all Comes that happy day When we hear the Saviour call:— “Trust me and obey. |
