Snow is gently falling
The stars are shining bright
People come to worship
On this holiest of night

The voices of the carolers
Of love and praise are singing
While pealing in the distance
Are the sounds of church bells ringing

An air of joy and happiness
Is everywhere in town
As people greet each other
With good wishes all around

What a glorious celebration
On this wintry Christmas Eve
Where so much warmth and caring
Is a wonder to perceive

May the magic of this Christmas
Extend throughout the year
Let's keep on reaching out
And showing that we care

May the blessings of this season
Fill our hearts with joy
Always sharing, always giving
So that others may enjoy.
