Christ Is Born

Has climbed its weary long-pGthed
Calvary,
Where millions died, as Christ,
that they might free
Others from aCrong. and black OPP
preSsion'S tears.
Once more nor through the World
comes to our ears
The song of all the ages, 'ChriSt

Mute tongued to notes of Jog haze
been the bells,
And only childhood and old age
dared try
To sing, so near the threatening
battle sky,
The song that told, though dulled
By shrieking shells
Whose bursting turned thousand
homes to bells,
The Wonder of the ages, "Christ
is born"
Our faith in God has brought to as
the goal;
War-weary lands haze peace on
earth again,
And IN the Scared and fire.
purged hearts of men,
Made street. and strong BY suffering
of the Soul,
Through trauail of a World once more
made ghole,
Anew IN human hearts the Christ
is born.
Dear God, the Christmas songs are
fraught Nth prayer
That Thou wit be NTH those
whose tears still pay
That we may haze the glory Of
this day;
That men may hUe their thanks;
that HUes mag bear
Eternal WitneSs for Thee, every

Proclaiming that in as the Christ
is born.
