Holiday Greetings

A Christmas Wish

What blessing can I wish you, O my friends,
Save that the joyful calm of Christmastide
Should wrap your hearts so close that never jar
Of the world's care of grief can enter it,
But only love to keep you pitiful,
And faith and hope to keep you strong and true.

"A merry Christmas" and "A Glad New Year"
I wish you all, and may God's exceeding love
Enfold you close, until His tender hand
Shall lead you safely home to love's own land!

Christmas Thoughts

There is Christmas music everywhere,
The Christmas bells are ringing,
The very air is full of joy,
The Christmas tidings bringing.

----------------------------------------

I hear the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

----------------------------------------

And never more the blessings
Shall from the year depart
If only we, dear children,
Keep Christmas in the heart.
Its love and thought for others
Are beautiful as flowers
And we may sow their beauty
In other hearts than ours.



That was the whole card, very beautiful I think,
Rene'
