Celebration
I awake to songs of glory
On the holy Christmas Day
That is praise to birth of Jesus-
Long ago and far away;
And I kneel to Him, in worship-
Offer thanks and quiet prayer-
For the grace His birth affords me
From a lifetime of despair.
He is love of mine, forever-
Son of God and Heaven's fold-
Who was born to be my Shepherd
And the Savior of my soul.

Grace for Christmas Day
Father, we thank Thee for this day.
Bless all we do and all we say.
May we each enjoy Thy blessing great
As Jesus' birth we celebrate.
And may the love that we share here
Remain throughout the coming year.
Amen.

Gertrude B. Bryam
