Few Poems from Helen Steiner Rice Christmas Blessings Book

Giving

Christmas is a season of giving

And giving is the key to living.

So let us give ourselves away,

Not just at Christmas but every day

And remember a kind and thoughtful deed

Or a hand outstretched in time of need

Is the rarest of gifts, for it is a part

Not of the purse, but a loving heart.

And he who gives of himself will find

True joy of heart and peace of mind

       Peace

     on earth

will come to stay 

   When we live 

      Christmas

      every day.

Christmas Glitter

With our eyes

we see the glitter

of Christmas,

With our ears

we hear the merriment,

With our hands

we touch the

tinsel-tied trinkets,

But only

with our hearts

can we feel

the miracle of it.

God Bless You at Christmas

God Bless you at Christmas

|And go with you through the year,

And whenever you are troubled

May you feel His presence near:

May the greatness of His mercy

And the sweetness of His peace

Bring you everlasting comfort

And the joys that never cease

God, Make Us Aware

God, make us aware

            that in Thy name

|The Holy Christ Child

            humbly came

To live on earth

         and leave behind

New faith and hope

          for all mankind.

And make us aware

             that the Christmas story

Is everyone's promise 

           of eternal glory.
