Ah, Yuletide once again
Streets lit up red and green
Time to put thankfulness first
And into God’s forgiveness lean
What a joyous time of year
What satisfaction, utter jubilation
And yet I am not fully satisfied
In this jovial celebration
I thank the Lord for his grace
That I have been given life
But still with restlessness
Is my heart rife
I love the sounds of the carolers
Making merry outside my door
But their hormonious refrains
Only increase my desire more
My desire to share this all with you
With the one whom I most love
To share the trimming of the tree
And the Christmas star up above
Oh, what a relief it would be
If I had received just one extra gift
If you had been waiting for me neath the mistletoe
Oh, how my tender heart would lift
But I count it all in relief
Taking it in stride
For I know one day
I can take you to be my bride
And in the Christmases following
Oh, what glorious holidays
As I’ll finally be able to show my love
In so many ways
So I say with relief
Do not fret
Though our most happy of Christmases
Has not reached us yet
For on some future December
Snow covered and sweet
We can finally
Make our Christmas dreams complete
Until then I wish you
All the best
I hope your Christmas Day was full of love
As were all the rest
And tonight when I kneel
On my knees to pray
I will thank God personally
For the hope of that future day
Streets lit up red and green
Time to put thankfulness first
And into God’s forgiveness lean
What a joyous time of year
What satisfaction, utter jubilation
And yet I am not fully satisfied
In this jovial celebration
I thank the Lord for his grace
That I have been given life
But still with restlessness
Is my heart rife
I love the sounds of the carolers
Making merry outside my door
But their hormonious refrains
Only increase my desire more
My desire to share this all with you
With the one whom I most love
To share the trimming of the tree
And the Christmas star up above
Oh, what a relief it would be
If I had received just one extra gift
If you had been waiting for me neath the mistletoe
Oh, how my tender heart would lift
But I count it all in relief
Taking it in stride
For I know one day
I can take you to be my bride
And in the Christmases following
Oh, what glorious holidays
As I’ll finally be able to show my love
