The nobler giving

What is the thought of Christmas?
Giving.
What is the hope of Christmas?
Living.
What is the joy of Christmas?
Love.

No silver or gold is needed for giving
If the heart is filled with the Christmas love,
For the hope of the world is kindly living,
Learned from the joy of God above.
