In a time when darkness is great, in a world where peace reigns, Is it easy to turn away from all the loneliness that grows? Let a door open today to your heart and your house And reach out a helping hand to the one who wants warmth and light Give us a Christmas on all our earth, where the gift is a friendly word Where there is humanity, our love, hope and faith Give us a Christmas in the middle of winter, where the light is in our lives So that in the end we will find a common Christmas In a time when the night is long, there is a star above And we have a Christmas gospel sung by angels in chorus Give us a Christmas in the middle of winter, where the light is in our lives So that in the end we will find a common Christmas Let a door open today to your heart and your house And reach out a helping hand to the one who wants warmth and light Give us a Christmas in the middle of winter, where the light is in our lives
