I wish it could be Christmas forever,
I wish that glow would never fade away! With friends and loved ones near us, around the Christmas tree so tall, We hear the church bells ringing, Dear Lord, bless us one and all! I know I be content now and forever, If those Christmas lights would sparkle every day, There's be candy canes and mistletoe, Children singing carols we know ( . . . singing carols we know, ) If love and peace on earth would always stay, I know it could be Christmas every day! |

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white And have a merry Christmas And have a merry Christmas, too I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases All your Christmases All your Christmases be white And have a merry Christmas |

Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day . . . Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out . . . Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie overall . . . Bless this door that it may prove, Ever open, To joy and love . . . Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's Heavenly light, Bless the hearth, ablazing there, With smoke ascending like a prayer! Bless the people here within, Keep them pure and free from sin . . . Bless us all that we may be, Fit O Lord to dwell with thee . . . Bless us all that one day we may dwell, O Lord! With Thee! Words and Music by Helen Taylor and May H. Morgan ( a.k.a. Brahe ), 1927 |
