THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

Nora L. Brown

At Christmas time joy comes on upward wing
With Soul-filled messages that bless and glow.
As Yuletide lights, they cheer and overflow
In reverent praise for God's pure offering.
Again we hear sweet angel voices sing
The heavenly song of joy to heal earth's woe:
Awakened thoughts respond, that faith may grow
In God's beloved Son—our Way-shower, king.

O Star of Bethlehem! Thy quickening power
Can never lose its radiant guiding light,
To lead all nations on in freedom's birth.
Shepherds today, in fields of thought that flower,
Discern the orb of Truth, dispersing night—
The Christ still waits to give men peace on earth.

Nora L. Brown
