Behold a new white worldA
The falling snowB
Has cloaked the last old yearC
And bid him goB
-
To morrow cries the oak treeD
To his heartE
My seal d buds shall flingF
Their leaves apartE
-
To morrow pipes the robinG
And againH
How sweet the nest that longI
Was full of rainJ
-
To morrow bleats the sheepK
And one by oneG
My little lambs shall frolicL
'Neath the sunG
-
For us too let some fairM
To morrow beD
O Thou who weavest threadsN
Of DestinyD
-
Thou wast a babe on thatO
Far Christmas DayP
Let us as children followB
In Thy wayP
-
So that our hearts grown coldQ
'Neath time and painJ
With young sweet faith may blossomR
Green againH
-
That empty promisesS
Of passing yearsT
Spring into life and notU
Repenting tearsV
-
So that our deeds uponW
The earth may goB
As innocent as lambsX
And pure as snowB
