Baskets of gladness
each woven with lace,
gifts from the Father
perfected with grace.
Bouquets of mercy,
warm blankets of love,
joyfully knitted
by Yahweh above.
Ribbons of patience
entwined with God's peace,
blessings abounding
not ever to cease.
Gifts from the Father,
the Father of Lights,
are made with His love
and make the world bright.
