On Christmas Day
On Christmas day and everyday
Let`s rejoice in festivity,
Yet tread along our way
With a deep sense of piety;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let`s thank His Son and the Lord
For giving us a meal a day
And taking our sorrows on board;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let`s clean our mind from evil thoughts
For one and all along our way
And banish ill-feelings to nought;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let`s harbour love for one and all;
And utter a positive say
In wintry days or in the Fall;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let`s sow seeds of good will to man,
Hail with peace as we should and may
Whether deadly foes or all friends;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let`s from life dispel dull despair
And fill our souls with hopeful rays
As from our life we can just repair;
On Christmas day and every day
Let us fan the flame of faith and trust
And not in distress stray away
From divinity as we must;
On Christmas day and every day
Let`s wrongs borne forget and forgive
Let go of pains our life to sway
Even if we have been aggrieved;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let`s bless all our enemies and foes
As His Only Son did that day
When nailed on cross from head to foes;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let us gather in unity
And make brotherhood a mainstay
On this day of solemnity;
On Christmas day and everyday
Let us chant His glorious hymns
And our gratitude display
For His Grace across space and time.
