Together on a Winter Night

There’s nothing like a winter night
Around a cozy fire,
While snowflakes fall you’re wrapped up tight
And form a family choir.

While laughter rings and each voice sings
The carols that we love,
We feel the joy that Christmas brings
When God came from above.

The tree-lights shine and every face
Is wreathed with festive smile;
Let cares begone as in their place
We gather for a while.

Let all the warmth of loving cheer
Bring happiness tonight,
For Christ has come and God is near
To fill our hearts with light.
