God give us eyes this Christmas To see the Christmas star And give us ears to hear the song of angels from afar and with our eyes and ears attuned for the message from above Let Christmas angels speak to us of HOPE and FAITH and LOVE. HOPE to light our pathway when the way ahead is dark HOPE to sing through stormy days with the sweetness of the lark FAITH to trust in things unseen and know beyond all seeing That it is in our Father's love we live and have our being. And LOVE to break down barriers of color, race and creed. LOVE to see and understand and help all those in need. Have a blessed life because of Christmas. Helen Steiner Rice
