Speaker 1: The Christmas wreath, Oh Christmas wreath, upon the wall. Within
0:07
Speaker 1: thine ivied space, I see the years beyond, recall amid
0:12
Speaker 1: thy leaves, I trace the shadows of a happy past,
0:17
Speaker 1: when all the world was bright, and love its magic
0:21
Speaker 1: splendor cast o'er morn and noon and night, Oh Christmas
0:28
Speaker 1: wreath upon the wall, neath memory's tender spell, A wondrous
0:34
Speaker 1: charm doth o'er thee fall and round thy beauty. Dwell
0:39
Speaker 1: thine ivy hath the satiny sheen of tresses. I've caressed
0:44
Speaker 1: thy Holly's crimson gleam, I've seen on lips I oft
0:49
Speaker 1: have pressed, Oh Christmas wreath upon the wall. A mist
0:55
Speaker 1: steals o'er my sight, dear hallowed wreath thee. These tears
1:00
Speaker 1: are all the pledge I now can plight to those
1:04
Speaker 1: loved ones whose spirit eyes shine down the flight of
1:08
Speaker 1: time around God's throne. Their voices rise to swell the
1:15
Speaker 1: Christmas chime.
