CHRISTMAS

The earth has grown old with it's burden of care, But at Christmas it always is young. Theheart of the jewel burns luStrous and fair, And its soul of music breaks forth on the air When the song of the angels is sung. It is coming, Old Earth it is coming tonight! On thelsnowfakes which cover the sod, The feet of the Christ-Child fall gentle and white And the voice of the ChristCd tells out with delight That mankind are the children of God. On the sad and lonely, the wretcned and poor, That voice of the Christ-Child shall fall, And to every blind wanderer opens the door Of hope that he dared not to dream of before, With sunshine of welcome for all. The feet of the humblest may walk in the field Where the feet of the hoiest have trod. This, this is the marvel to mortaS revealed When the slvery trlmpets of Christmas have pealed, That mankind are the children of God.
