A wish for the season


Give good gifts one to another,
Peace, joy, and comfort gladly bestow;
Harbor no ill ’gainst sister or brother,
Smooth life’s journey as you onward go.

Broad as the sunshine, free as the showers,
So shed an influence blessing to prove;
Give for the noblest of efforts your pow’rs;
Blest and be blest is the law of love.

– Mount Lebanon Hymnal (1893)
