CHRISTMAS
happiness and cheer
Stay with you through
the coming year
[2]
Two candles shone together,
And blessed us with their light;
Now one has been removed from earth,
To shine in heaven's height.
True daughter of your mother,
Your light will still beam clear ;
And may it shine upon our path,
To bless us many a year!
