Man bet fr for his brothers sake. z
When Christmas comes.
When Christmas comes,
We someway feel the whole world kin.
Then friendships fires arc kindled in
Cold hearts, whose doors have long been sh,
Como inr' rings out from hall and hut.
"Come in, come in this Christmas day
Put all old differences away.
Join hands and hearts as all men should,
In universal brotherhood, lt
When Christmas comes" III
