Christ Eternal, hear our prayer,
Bless our friends everywhere,
Bless each home and fireside hearth,
Bless the children's fun and mirth,
Bless the carols that are sung
As the holly greens are hung;
May all earth this Christmastide
In Thy joy and peace abide.
Christ Eternal, shed Thy love
From Thy throne in Heav'n above,
Fill with peace the hearts of men
As Thou didst at Bethlehem;
May Thy glory fill this day
'Til all men shall know the way
to Thy great salvation free,
Blood-bought Gift of Calvary.
Christ Eternal, may all men
Look anew to Bethlehem,
May they see the guiding star,
May they hear the angel choir,
May their faith grow deep and strong,
Trusting Thee, God's only Son;
May all earth its homage pay,
Christ, to Thee this Christmas Day.
