Christmas in the Heart

W I'LL Vic SidOI1C6O IllC OSSN AuOWS
When in word and deed and thought
Christmas to the world is brought
As festival that CLEANS
Not alone in childhood dreams
But through all the ways of men,
Till the old turn young again,
And in sweetness, love reborn,
Sings triumphant of the morn.
Dust and darkness, grief and tears,
Shadows of the gruelling years,
Blood and battle, song and signs
But at last the Christmas skies
Glowing with the peace of things,
And the sound of spirit wings
Fiuttering at the gates of time
Till the church bells swing and chime,
As the heart does, so the, song
OF immortal love made strong
In the hearts of men that feel
Christmas DER the spirit steal.
