A Christmas Story, Told In Verse,
From Pen of Miss Cynthia Morris
Editor’s Note—The Christmas Story, as traditional as life itself,
takes many forms and many variations. This year, it is very aptly
told in verse from the pen of Miss Cynthia Morris. Miss Morris
gave The Christmas Story at the December meeting of the
Woman’s Literary club.
A CHRISTMAS STORY
On a night in old Judea
By the city of Bethlehem
A star and a song of gladness
Came into the of lives of men.
An angel at first came telling
Of tidings good for all men,
And spoke of the birth of a Savior
In the city of Bethlehem.
Then a chorus of angels were praisinsg,
"Glory to God,” they sang,
To the shepherds on earth beneath them,
And loud their hosannas rang.
The shepherds at first were startled,
It is said they were affright.
As they heard this heavenly message
Break forth on the stilly night.
But they left their flocks and they followed
To where the bright star led,
And there they found the infant,
Asleep in his lowly bed.
There were others who saw the brightness,
The wise men, one, two, three,
And each left his home to follow
The star that was heavenly.
They traveled and met on the journey,
These wise men, one, two, three,
And brought their gifts to the Christ Child,
And gave them on bended knee.
Though bowed with age and hoary
They knelt to the young child there,
As he slept in a lowly stable
Crude swaddling clothes to wear.
No room in the inn, was the reason
He was born in this lowly place,
But the darkness of the night time
Could not dim His holy face.
For it had been told to Mary
By the Lord in IIis holy way,
That she was to bear a Saviour,
And now had come the day.
She gazed with adoration,
And Joseph adored Him, too—
They were both filled with wonder
Could this miracle really be true?
But here lay the Infant holy
And they named Him, as had been decreed,
‘Thou shalt call his name Jesus’.
This in the Bible we read.
The gift of this Babe, our Saviour,
Was the greatest gift or time
It saved a world from darkness—
The message is sublime
You are told to do unto others
As you would have them do to you
To forgive, to be kind, to be loving,
To the Christian, the Negro, the Jew.
He has sent us a pattern of living—
For existence on earth and in Heaven
He has given us grace and redemption
For sins that may be forgiven.
So let us ail sing as the angels,
Let us give as the wise men three,
Let us adore as Mary and Joseph,
Let us live in humility.
So that the star and the chorus of music
And the meaning of His holy birth
Will be real, universal, unending.
Giving peace to all men o’er the earth.
