Long time ago (and I'm old!) the words to a christmas song sunk in my head. it was the kind of thing you'd find in the repertoire of a little high school learning to sing easy four-part songs. The words stayed, but I don't know who wrote them or where they came from. Help me?

A Christmas Wish [ I think ]

To all the world my wish will be
A star of hope on your Christmas tree,
A package of peace with a bow of white,
And a flagon of faith for the long, dark, night.

My wish for children is light as air --
A bauble to play with,
A bow for your hair.

For children are Christmas --
The magical birth,
The newness,
The trueness,
The hope of this earth
