O God, our loving Father, help us Rightly to remember the birth of Jesus, That we may share in the song of the Angels, the gladness of the shepherds And the worship of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the Door of love all over the world. Deliver us from evil by the blessing That Christ brings, and teach us To be merry with clear hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy To be thy children and the Christmas Evening bring us to our beds with Grateful thoughts, forgiving, and Forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEA POPPIES by HILDA DOOLITTLE DYING SPEECH OF AN OLD PHILOSOPHER by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR THE WAITER AND THE ALLIGATOR by G.
