Blotting out memories tragic and drea r ;

Bringing rich BLESSINGS for mankind to share again

Filling our hearts with the magic of CHEERI

Help for the helpless. and strength for the strong!

Giving the hopeless a chance to take HEART again

God's loving gifts to humanity's tlirong!

Sinner and saint, a nd t he godless and good;

Hearts of the world all respond to the ring of it

Bringing mankind in to one BROTHERHOOD I

Paupers and peasants; the rich and renowned;

Spirit of Love--may we bow t o t he WILL of it -

Then we'll have CHRISTMAS the whole year around I

No finer word in the world can be found I

Molded a nd made for we mortals to sing of it;

Full of the "tingle" that makes pulses pound I
