Where Heaven Meets the Earth

O holy Night, when darkness yields to Light,
and Bethlehem is warmed by Heaven’s might.
For heaven bent low to meet the waiting earth,
as Virgin Mary gave the Savior birth.
With Joseph near, the angels sing their praise,
and humble hearts to God in worship raise.

The selfsame Christ, once laid in manger bare,
now comes in Bread and Wine, in hidden care.
He feeds His Church when trials make us sore,
and binds us fast in unity once more.
So we, as Knights, with faith that will not bend,
choose works of love, and serve until the end.

As Knights, we stand with hearts in humble prayer,
to serve Your Church with steadfast love and care.
With faith in act, with charity that gives,
with bonds of brotherhood that truly lives.
In unity beneath the saving Cross,
we choose Your will, and count no service loss.

Bless every home with Christmas cheer this year,
and draw the lonely close, for You are near.
Heal every wound, and dry each hidden tear,
uphold the weary soul against all fear.
O Mary, Joseph, Blessed Michael McGivney, for us pray,
till we behold Christ’s face in endless day.

Fraternally in Christ,
Knights of Columbus,
Council 1186
