O Christmas,merry Christmas,is it really come again
with its memories and greetings,with its joy and with its pain!
There’s a minor in the carol and a shadow in the light,
and a spray of cypress twining with the holly wreath tonight.
And the hush is never broken by laughter light and low,
as we listen in the starlight to “the bells across the snow”

O Christmas,merry Christmas,'Tis not so very long
some other voices blended with the carol and the song!
If we could but hear them singing,as they are singing now,
If we could but see the radiance of the crown on each dear brow
There would be no sigh to smother,no hidden tear to flow
As we listen in the starlight to"the bells across the snow"

O Christmas,merry Christmas,This never more can be
We cannot bring again the days of our unshadowed glee
But Christmas,happy Christmas,sweet herald of goodwill
with holy songs of glory brings holy gladness still
For peace and hope may brighten,and patient love may glow,
as we listen in the starlight to “the bells across the snow”
[Francis Ridley Havergal]]
Happy Christmas to one and all - twinc
 
Hope you have a joyous holy day. Where is this in scripture?

The words are not, the then intentions behind them are:

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

(Colossians 3:16)

I’d say the words of the original post are a recent spiritual song, if not a less familiar hymn.

You gave me an opportunity to give that scripture a look.

Thank you,

I think this is a scripture meant for me to meditate on.

Wishing you a joyous Holy Day today.

Love it when God rolls that way! Glad he used His words for your good, and thank you for letting me know.
