in the words of John Rutter

I wish you starlight on fields of snow,

The winter’s morning light and evening’s glow;

I wish you candles that shine from ev’ry tree

So all the world can see

The light that there could be.

I wish you music, I wish you song,

With voices echoing, joyous and strong;

I wish you church bells, ringing true and clear;

I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas,

A merry Christmas to remember all the year.

Old friends smiling, thinking of times gone by;

Young friends laughing:

Christmas is here,

Spirits are bright, and hopes are high.

I wish you loved ones around your fire;

May Christmas bring you all your heart’s desire.

I wish you children to make the season new,

With dreams you help come true,

Just like it was for you.

I wish you blessings, I wish you love,

The sound of angel choirs from high above;

I wish you laughter, happiness and cheer:

I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas,

And may its joy and peace be with you through the year.

I wish you music, I wish you song;

I wish you harmony your whole life long;

The warmth of memories that long remain:

I wish you Christmas, a merry Christmas,

And may God Bless you till we all shall meet again.
