But in spite of his hard exterior,
the senior instructor is a kindly
sergeant who does everything he

Perished have the gentle Wise Men,
With their treasures from afar;
But however dark the midnight.
There is still a guiding Star.
Gone forever is the manger
Where the Holy Bal>e was born ;
Hut the spirit of the Christ Child
Lives again on Christmas morn.
For the hand of God is on us.
When in Jesus' name we meet
Ami the pathway tfl the Saviour
Winds along the city street.
May the joy of Christ be with you
On this happy Christmas day:
May the wondrous light of heaven
Ever guide you on your wav.
