God bless you all this- Christmas Day
And drive the cares and griefs away.
Oh may the shining Bethlehem star
Which led .bhe wise men from afar
Upon your heads good airs still glow'
To light the path that ye should go.
As God onco blessed the stable grim
And made it radiant for Him ;
As it was fit to shield His Son
May ithy roof be a holy one ;
May all who come this house to share
Best sweetly in His gracious care.
Within thy Avails may peace abide
Tho peace for which the Savior died. .
Though hlimble be the rafters- here
Above them may the star. shine clear -And
in this home ithou lovest -well
May excellence of spirit dwell.
God bless you all this Christmas Day ;
May Bethlehem's star still light thy way
And guide thee to the perfect peace
When every fear and doubt shall cease.
And may thy home sUch glory know
As did the stable long ago.
