Tidings of Joy and everlasting

aweatllcas,

Anq once again that story they

impart, -

'Tis Chrlstlllas.

Mankind scculs to llced lilo gentle warning, '

And remember that it is a time

for good,

A tlnle for peace, for joy, and cxuli-

alien.

'Tis Christmas.

Oil, may those in-lin, forever pcal-

ing ln the spirc,

Bless r-.a,ri»llly hearts and give

them joy and pear-e,

And gently lift their souls to realms

hlglitlr. i
