The missionaries gathered
They of many different lands
To exchange gifts and good food
That together they could band
Yet Christmas felt incomplete
They sought to understand...
They ventured forth caroling
Unto houses they had known
With investigators mingling
The Light of Christ was more shown
For the gift of the self was given
Unto hearts tenderly grown
There were some rich and some poor
But regardless the gift was the same
Each rediscovered what we're here for
Through testimonies in His holy name
For the spirit did downpour
Midst grateful tears that warmly came
