539. 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 every 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.
