“Christmas Night,” Friend, Dec. 1978, insert

Christmas Night

Come out, come out, rabbits,

And dance across the snow—

The Christmas stars are shining

And the forest’s all aglow.

Come out, come out, foxlings!

Fir trees are silvery bright;

God’s creatures are rejoicing,

For this is Christmas night.

Come out, come out, winter birds,

Come every one that sings—

Come show your silver-crested heads

And fly with starbright wings.

Come out, come out, all creatures!

Come, capering with delight,

To a radiant, bright new world,

For this is Christmas night.
