The spirit of
Christmas
The spirit of Christmas is often
found In things that we can see A street
of gold and silver A sparkling Christmas
tree.
It’s found in quiet
serenity Of freshly fallen snow In lights
upon the river A candles’ gentle glow.
It’s found in pretty
presents And treasures of delight In
stories told of Christmas’ past On cold and
wintry nights.
It’s found in Yuletide
carolers Who stand out in the street And
spread good cheer and tidings To everyone
they meet.
It’s found in bustling
cities As choirs get up to sing In sleepy
little villages Where lonely church bells
ring.
It’s found within a beggar’s
heart Who kindly takes the time To help a
cold and hungry child By sharing his last
dime.
It’s found within the prisons
walls And temples made of stone It’s found
within the orphanages And in the nursing
homes.
It’s found within the wise
men Who brought gifts from far away And
the eastern star that led them To the stable
where He lay.
It’s found within the
Spirit This gift from up above It’s filled
with pure salvation And wrapped in His sweet
love.
It’s even found in old St.
Nick As he kneels down to pray To Jesus,
Blessed Redeemer Who was born on Christmas
day.
