Christmas is to celebrate Christ,
One King, wrapped in swaddling cloth,
A little babe bought high priced--
He cannot even yet drink broth.
Though we set up a tree, and mistletoe too--
Gather gifts all around, and serve cider,
To those worldly things we must say adieu
For Christ we must reserve all our fervor.
Indeed, the greatest of all gifts is baby Jesus!
Presents of all shapes and sizes
Will not touch our hearts of callous,
For God's love booms with merry clashes!
So hear from me now, for Christmas dear:
Please be filled with good Christian cheer!
