Thank you that in these hectic days when great men worry over the fate of the world
and small men fret at taxes, we can all pause in our troubles and open our hearts to a uni-
fying love at Christmastime. Help us to worship with the simple adoration of the shepherd
folk and wisemen, “lost in wonder, lost in praise.”
Grant that we might keep a little Christmas spirit in our hearts always, till there is,
“peace on earth and good will to all men.”
