The holidays draw near
In the air you can feel winter’s cold chill
The season for rejoicing is almost here
When shall we begin to spread that good cheer?
Lights twinkle, brightening the night
Songs of old bring memories to life
The spirit of Christmas uplifts many with ease
A time for giving to benefit another’s need
Bless our lives with comfort and love
Sent directly to us from sweet heaven above
Bless all the children who live on this earth
May they live long lives and enjoy a warm hearth
Joyous songs sung straight from the heart
Reach heaven’s gate and then soon depart
Landing with haste right in God’s ear
Bless us all, every one, as the holidays draw near
