YANKEE
QUARTER
CHRISTMAS
By DAVID ELSWORTH
So long ago one .scarce can tell
When first was heard the Christmas bell,
The shepherds watched their flocks by night,
And unto them appeared a light. ..
Then voices soft began to sing,
A herald to the heavenly king.
Good will to men, the angel's voice
Then said, let all the world rejoice;
Let peace remain upon the earth,
In memory of a Saviour's birth;
The message to the .shepherds given,
The hosts then vanished back to heaven.
Then hastening to the manger bright,
The shepherds s?iw the heavenly sight;
The king of kings there safely lay,
In swaddling clothes upon the hay;
While angels bright looked from above,
Upon the babe, the God of love.
The wise men too, came from afar,
Led by the brightness of a star;
And bringing gifts of priceless worth.
They crowned him king of heaven and earth.
Departing then they went their way,
And worshipped: This first Christmas day.
Let us bring gifts to those who need,
To words divine we should take heed,
That these the least may hapjoy be,
"So have you given unto me. '
While Christmas chimes ring out again,
Sing peace on earth, good will to men.
