At Christmas time

At Christmas

Christ is born again in the power of hope

and the candle of compassion,

filling the world with love.

May the angel of birthing bless us

calling forth wonder, awe and gratitude.

May the angel of Bethlehem bless us

tickling our souls with laughter and joy

heralding hope and good tidings.
