The Hope Of Christmas

THE HOPE OF CHRISTMAS (Ann Hampton Callaway / William Schermerhorn) REV. FINAL 6.16


Christmas has come ‘round again
With thoughts of peace... goodwill toward men.
But once old carols have their say
Must the Christmas spirit fade away?

The hope of Christmas
Lasting longer than a season:
That’s the wish I wish to make
On a star that shines above.
Let me fill each day and night with love.

The hope of Christmas
Bringing lasting peace among us
Is the light that guides the way
Long past the mistletoe and tree;
A boundless gift for how the world could be.

If only we could
Help children to laugh;
Let strangers know we care.
Keep the promise of this joyful time
Every time we share…

The hope of Christmas
Touching hearts beyond all reason.
A Yuletide flame that burns anew
Warming souls with love and cheer;
A wondrous glow to last throughout the year.

Keep singing; sing will all your heart.
Let grateful music fill the air.
Let’s keep the promise of this joyful time
Every time we share…

The hope of Christmas
Touching hearts beyond all reason.
The Yuletide flame that burns anew
Warming souls with love and cheer;
A wondrous glow to last throughout the year.

The Hope of Christmas lives here.
