The past of man is cold as ice: He would not mend his ways. He strove for silver in his heart And gold in all his days. His reason weak, his anger sharp, And sorrow all his pay, He went to church but once a year, And that was Christmas Day. So grant us all a change of heart, Rejoice for Mary’s son; Pray, Peace on earth to all mankind, God bless us everyone! The present man is full of flame: He rushes here and there. He turns away the orphan child, The widow in her chair. He eats for ten, he drinks for twelve, Forgets how brief his stay, And stands a-jingling of his change In church on Christmas Day. So grant us all a change of heart, Rejoice for Mary’s son; Pray, Peace on earth to all mankind, God bless us everyone! The man to come we do not know: May he make peace on earth, And live the glory of the Word, The message of the birth, And gather all the children in To banish their dismay, Lift up his heart among the bells In church on Christmas Day. So grant us all a change of heart, Rejoice for Mary’s son; Pray, Peace on earth to all mankind, God bless us everyone!
