MY CHRISTMAS WISHES.

You couldn't buy with money what Tn
asking for this year,
And Yet you can bestow it, for It's not SO
very dear;
For my little ones I'm asking just one gift
to make me glad,
And that is: You'll keep on loving old
weather-beaten dad.
II you'd saved up all your pennies all
your life you couldn't buy
The present ! am wanting-that must
come from him on high;
It's the finest present ever, What I'm
asking for I'll tell;
It's Just that God will keep you round
about me, strong and well.
