Family gathered all around
Christmas blessings now abound
Celebrated on all the Earth
Commemorating Jesus' birth
Grateful voices ring aloud
Angels standing tall and proud
Churches' windows lighted bright
Praying on this Holy Night
Christmas lights and jingle bells
Candle glow and stories tell
Children peeking under the tree
Playing and laughing joyfully
Sitting by the fire's glow
White snowflakes and mistletoe
Holiday treats for all to share
Christians rejoicing everywhere
Santa Claus and stockings red
Warm hats worn on every head
Landscape covered with snow and ice
Grandma's kitchen smelling nice
Celebrating this festive season
Ever mindful of the reason
Children drawing nativity scenes
Teaching them what Christmas means
Blessings overflow all year 'round
Thanking for salvation found
Love throughout the world proclaimed
Praising God in Jesus' name
