CHRISTMAS, "a

Someday, as far as you can find,
Every man will love mankind
Everyone will prove his worth
In all the lands throughout the earth.
Hate and evil war will cease,
And all the world will dwell in peace.
No unkind deed, nor harmful word,
Will then be done, or ever heard.
Man will then his life employ
Doing good and living joy.
Heaven, descended from above,
Will fill both earth and man with love.
Life will then be safe for man.
Lovely works will be his plan
Grandeur built within the hour
BY common wealth and common power.
Forests full of nuts and fruit
Will gloomy prophets all refute;
Abundance free for all to take
Gladly made for brothers sake
Everyone will do his part,
And all will share both goods and heart
Splendid homes will then arise
For all in earthly paradise.
Happiness is our fate
If we will love, and never hate.
May we enter this bright door
Now, this Christmas, 81
