How Silently How Silently
The WOndrOus Gift is Giv'n

The season of peace and goodwill has come once
again to world weary of war, death and destruction,
but peoples throughout the world, remembering the
meaning of Christmas, will find in their hearts the
faith and hope that has been handed down through the
generations; faith and hope that began with the
birth of the Christ child.
The great joy, the frivous celebrating, the splurg
ing and gay rejoicing will be absent this year, for many
homes and many hearts will have suffered absence and
loss But to everyone who thinks OF feels or under
stands, on this Christmas Day will come an inner
warmth, quiet and gentle candlelight The soldiers
in the foxholes will have it; the sailors the ships
at sea will notice it. the marines in the jungle will feel
it. That is the greatest Christmas gift of all-that
inner warmth of faith and hope and courage.
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heavn.
