We walk in solemn
procession
Silent Night the choir's
selection.
Shepherds and Wise men
gather near
With gifts of hope and
cheer.
A Christmas choir
serenades
Hark the Herald Angel on
parade.
Children recite the
Christmas story
And praise our Lord in
all his glory.
Baby Jesus at his birth
Declared to us our
worth!
The peace He promised is
our true desire.
And will be achieved once it's love
our hearts sincerely
acquire.

Merry Christmas
everyone!
PRAYER FOR AMERICA
O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to thee. These hearts are
radiant with Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilarated by the message
of Thy glad-tidings. O God! Let this American democracy become glorious in
spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees, and render this
just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard
of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become
thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the nations of the world. O
God! This American nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy
mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal.
-- 'Abdu'l-Baha
“If the learned and worldly-wise men of this age
were to allow mankind to inhale the fragrance of fellowship and love, every
understanding heart would apprehend the meaning of true liberty, and discover
the secret of undisturbed peace and absolute composure.”
