Christmas chimes will soon be heard. O'er land and sea its music is spurred. Sentinels hear its concord sweet. Ringing out its rapture o'er hills and retreat. In the early days of not long ago. We hung up our stockings, and then put to bed. The fire in the firepiaee was all aglow. And not banked over until our prayers were said. The lullaby seemed to have ro effect, For "Santa" would come down the chimney direct. And SB our stockings v. ith good things to eat. And toys, sleds, wagons, guns, and a whole battle fleet. Today v her. Christmas chimes shall ring. No lullaby song3 can sooth some to sleep. For "Santa" has no crust to bring. To distribute amnr.R those who have no upkeep. In bonds of affection at this yuletine. The "Master" of leve stands by your side, If fafo seems against you, and the right. Just seek some poor soul who has sunk out of sight. And give him a draught from the depths of your heart. It may start him on his way and give him a start. A loaf may be small and your own pantry bare. But some droppings of love ycu may be able to spare. And when its all ever, the frag ments we save. Thank God for the baskets, and crumbs of love, that we crave. Pray for those who can't see through the shadow a ray. To guide them through this troublesome way, Eut the light still shines as bright as the "Star," That guided the wise men from afar, To the shepherds of the hills, where chimes that night, Has girdled the globe with a new born light.
