With lul laby sweet lul led her dear one to rest . Her song was echoed far out on a hil l By angel hosts . "Peace on earth. Goodwill" the shepherds heard and hastened with joy, with reverence to worship the new baby boy The mother 's refrain was wafted afar To men of wisdom, led by a star . Who braught r ich gif ts for the newborn one, Mary's sweet Babe. GOD'S only Son We, too. hear that song echoed thru ' the years It soothes our cares and lulls our fears We make our pilgrimage once again To the manger-cradle of Bethlehem CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS Fir trees glistening with t insel and l ight , Crowned with stars to remind of the night A child was born in Bethlehem To bring peace and goodwill to men Gifts al l wrapped with crimson and gold Given with love, as wisemen of old Gave to the ChristChild as Ho lay In a catt le stal l on a bed of hay Carols r ing out on the cold frosty air . By young and old sung everywhere Remind of the angel host on high Singing "Glory to GOD' ' to the shepherds nigh Faces aglow with radiance and mirth Gathered round the family hearth Reflect the joy of that f irst Christmas morn, Brought to earth when the Christ was born A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE A bri l l iant s tar that once shone bright O'er .Judean hil ls on a moonli t night , Brought promise of peace and joy and love. When GOD sent His Son as a babe from above. May this love and joy in your heart hold sway. And gi ve you-peace this Christmas day, GOD bless and keep al l you hold dear, And guide you through the coming year IT'S CHRISTMAS When carols r ing out Children's faces glow Holly wreaths twine Earth 's covered with snow It 's Christmas' When Yule-tree l ight I l lumines the night And candles glow O'er sparkling snow- It 's Christmas' When children sing With delight And sleighbells jungle In the night I t 's Christmas' When stockings hang By the f ire And Santa brings Hearts desire I t 's Christmas' When merry greetings Fil l the air And families gather From far and near I t 's Christmas' When choirs sing The Antiphon To herald the bir th Of God's only Son I t 's Christmas' i,, i<I-i in 11 ><>i.> news tiom the family Service and Mental He,*1'*!
