Ii they Will i've as y eSuS ulu,
For love of God and all mankind.
Teach them how blessed tits to give,
What pleasure in it they will find;
lave them upon the giving count
More than on what they will receive,
! hen we can make them understand
Christ'S mission, toO-SOOner believe.
T Zach them to think of others needs,
And how tney joy to them can bring,
aud Christ will then appreciate,
When We his joyous praises sing.
Make Christmas day as He would wish,
\ perfect blessing to mankind,
When all remember Christ's great love.
