The embers dim with each the passing hour
And ebbs the darkness of the night far dour
Come place another log upon our fire
Abiding near its warm and rising spire
Surrounded now with friendly faces greet
To tell good tales, find comfort in her heat
Come friend, come stranger step from out the night.
Draw closer friend that all may know the light.
E'er stay amid the glowing coals and flames
And in her pyre cast away your shames
For like the branch the burning fires devour
Each shame and weakness be exchanged for pow'r
For here we're free to share and grow midst friends
Forever changed like cind'ring ash ascends.
Come friend, come stranger cast away your plight.
Draw closer friend and stay with us this night.
So place another log upon the fire
And loose the ligatures of hate and ire
Know well the comfort found in lofty praise
And see the goodness scrying through her blaze.
Let not the darkness flood upon this light
Her golden glow will push away the night.
Come friend, come stranger round the ring of flame.
Draw closer friend that all might know your name.
