Wish You Christmas, A poem

(Theme for FCO’s Christmas Concert 2018)

I wish you starlight on fields of snow: The winter’s morning light and evening’s glow; I wish you candles that shine from ev’ry tree, So all the world can see The light that there could be.

I wish you music, I wish you song, With voices echoing joyous and strong; I wish you church bells, ringing true and clear; I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas, A merry Christmas to remember all the year.

Old friends smiling, thinking of times gone by; Young friends laughing Christmas is here, Spirits are bright, and hopes are high. I wish you loved ones around your fire; May Christmas bring you all your heart’s desire. I wish you children to make the season new, With dreams you help come true, Just like it was for you.

I wish you blessings, I wish you love, The sound of angel choirs from high above; I wish you laughter, happiness and cheer; I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas, And may its joy and peace be with you through the year.
