Shining trees
And toppings of a star;
Family gatherings,
Sounds of hearty laughter;
Hanging mistletoes,
Colourful candles scented,
Plates of marshed potatoes
Stuffings in turkey roasted.

It's the holiday season,
Filled with seasoning;
Let's remember the reason
For all the rejoicing:
Long ago in a tiny manger,
Was born the Messiah,
Admist threats of danger,
To fulfill man's greatest desire.

Yearning for the communion lost,
Thirsty for everlasting life,
Given to selfish desires and lust
Mankind wallow in evil and strife;
Through the Saviour's birth-God's gift
His life, love and death
And end was brought to the rift
Between God and man;He paid the eternal debt.

"Hosanna in the Highest"
The angels sing
Man's songs will sound loudest;
To the highest heaven our praises ring
Peace on earth,
Goodwill to all,
Prosperity and mirth
Forever to all who heed His call.
