Lyrics:

We must keep the spirit.
We must hold it dear.
The spirit of Christmas - keep it near.
To reach out and help, to love and to share,
then keep it on, throughout the year.

Give hope and happiness, you can be blessed
with a kinder smile and love to share.
To see all around, to feel all about,
that even on the harder days, happiness is still there.

Looking out for others with all we can share.
Give of your heart, truly to care
and in all that you do, let your love shine though
and all the power of the moment, it will see you through.
