117. As Each Happy Christmas

1 As each happy Christmas
Dawns on earth again,
Comes the holy Christ Child
To the hearts of men.

2 Enters with His blessing
Into ev'ry home,
Guides and guards our footsteps
As we go and come.

3 All unknown, beside me
He will ever stand,
And will safely lead me
With His own right hand.
