poem as a Christmas greeting:
Another Christmas year
Comes with its light and cheer
Its message of good will
From Him who loves us still.
His gifts were not of gold
Nor gems of worldly mould
II was himself He gave
To bless the world and save
his gracious WOfQS we near
His wise commands and clear
We follow in his train
And long for his blessed reign
We gratefully would raise
Glad anthems to His praise
Mid all earth joy bells ring
In honor of our King.
