BY their kind friend old Santa Claus.
We wish all, both saint aud sinner
A sumptuous Christmas dinner.
Of good fresh bread II wheat or rye,
Turkey, pudding and oyster pie.
Chicken salad und savory ssuos
And all be happy and rsjoiee,
For the blessinEs We now receive
Through Christ who eams that we might live,
For his gracious redsnptive plan
To save Tebeliious, eTring man.
Fer, another glad Christmas morn,
TO celebrate . Saviour born.
When the bright angela sang,
"Psaee on earth and good will toward man.
May all our voices humbly raiss
In songs Of gratitude and praise,
To Him who died upon the cross
To save our souis from endless loss;
And rose again and dwolls on high
That man might live and never die.

Until his will on earth be done,
BY all mankind under the sun,
And unite In eestatlc strain
