HOLLY WREATH…. …Gladys Harp
Holly wreath, up on the door,
Ushered Christmas in once more,
May the Advent be the
reason…..That you welcome in the season.
Any other one is
vain,……Be it mirth or be it gain;
But light the candles once
again - And pray for goodwill to all men.
Let Christmas candles
evidence - We celebrate in reverence,
And spread afar o’er all
the earth - The history of the Christ Child’s birth.
As wise men
did when angels sang - And all the hills of Judah rang
With glad
tidings of goodwill….that Christ the Lord brings to us still.
