  A HAPPY Christmas to you! For the Light of Life is born, And his coming is the sunshine Of the dark and wintry morn. The grandest Orient glow must pale, The loveliest Western gleam must fail, But his great Light, So full, so bright, Ariseth for thy heart to-day, His shadow-conquering beams shall never pass away. A happy Christmas to you! For the Prince of peace is come, And his reign is full of blessings, Their very crown and sum. No earthly calm can ever last. ’Tis but the lull before the blast: But his great peace Shall still increase In mighty, all rejoicing sway; His kingdom in thy heart can never pass away.
