Where Christmas Comes From
BY T. c. HARBAUCH

From the land of song and story,
Angel.kept and old as Time,
Where the lily in her glory
Reigns the Queen of Judah's cline
From the village of the stranger
Where the infant Saviour lay,
Graded in an humble manager,
Christmas comes to us today.
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1920-12-10

Kedron still its song is singing
To the far off Orient sea,
And the tuneful bells are ringing
In the old years jubilee;
Children pluck the lily blowing
On her ever graceful stem,
And the lazy herds are lowing
On the plains of Bethlehem.
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1920-12-10

Aye, from humble hut and steeple
In that land that lies afar,
Rise the anthems of the people
To the glowing Christmas Star;
There is told the olden story
How amid the scented hay,
Christ, the Saviour, came from glory
Upon earth's first Christmas day.
