A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS
God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear
The song of angels from afar.
And, with our eyes and ears
attuned for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to
us of hope and faith and love.
Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark.
Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being
And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.
