Where the Yule logs glow and flame,
Hopeful youth and trustful maiden
Softly chant the Masters name.
Now, If there be any sad onea.
Bid their fearful eyes be dried.
Now, If there be thoughtless glad ones.
Be that gladness purified;
For the bells of peace are ringing,
Ginning anthems of the free.
Earth and heaven join in singing
OF the glories yet to be.
Seek the boughs, so green and fragrant,
Let the waxen tapers dance,
Here Is hope for prince, for vagrant,
Christ Of every circumstance!
Pile the leaping fagots higher,
Let the wide-mouthed chimney roar.
