Speaker 1: The peace of Christmas time, Dearest, How hard it is
0:05
Speaker 1: to say that all is for the best, since sometimes
0:09
Speaker 1: in a grievous way, God's will is manifest. See with
0:15
Speaker 1: what hearty, noisy glee our little ones tonight dance round
0:20
Speaker 1: and round our Christmas tree with pretty toys, bedite, dearest,
0:26
Speaker 1: one voice. They may not hear, one face, they may
0:31
Speaker 1: not see. Ah, what of all this Christmas cheer? Cometh
0:37
Speaker 1: to you and me cometh before our misty eyes that
0:43
Speaker 1: other little face, and we clasp in tender reverent wise
0:49
Speaker 1: that love in the old embrace. Dearest, The Christ Child
0:55
Speaker 1: walks tonight bringing his peace to men, and he brings
1:00
Speaker 1: to you and to me the light of the old
1:04
Speaker 1: old years. Again bringeth the peace of long ago, when
1:09
Speaker 1: a wee one clasp your knee and lisped of the morrow,
1:13
Speaker 1: dear one, you know, and here come back is he? Dearest?
1:20
Speaker 1: Tis sometimes hard to say that all is for the best,
1:25
Speaker 1: for often in a grievous way, God's will is manifest.
