Kindness, goodness, hope and joy,
Faith and love now do employ,
Peace in earth and goodwill toward men,
It’s easier said than done - so let’s begin.
We can do it, if we choose it, and don’t “lose it.”
Resist the urge to fuss and fight,
Stand strong by grace, and do what’s right.
Because in the end there’ll be none to boast,
So live in love - because it’s what matters most.

not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall
not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in

therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
