Christmas Thanks

by Solveig Paulson Russell

---

Dear Father, on this Christmas Day

I thank Thee for the Child who lay

In a stable long ago.

And I thank Thee that the glow

Of light and love about Him then

Still is felt and known to men.

I thank Thee that this season brings

Remembrance of the King of kings

And of the star and angel throngs

And peace expressed in heavenly songs.

I thank Thee too for every way

Thy love has blessed us on this day.

Friend 1972
