by Phillips Brooks
Everywhere, everywhere,
Christmas tonight!
Christmas in lands
of the fir-tree and pine,
Christmas in lands
of the palm-tree and vine,
Christmas where snow peaks stand
solemn and white,
Christmas where cornfields stand
sunny and bright.
Christmas where children are
hopeful and gay,
Christmas where old men are
patient and gray,
Christmas where peace,
like a dove in his flight,
Broods o're brave men in the
thick of the fight;
Everywhere, everywhere,
Christmas tonight!
For the Christ-child who
comes is the Master of all;
No palace too great,
no cottage too small.
