Words From an Old Spanish Carol Shall I tell you who will come to Bethlehem on Christmas Morn, who will kneel them gently down before the Lord, new-born One small fish from the river, with scales of red, red gold, one wild bee from the heather, one grey lamb from the fold, one ox from the high pasture, one black bull from the herd, one goading from the far hills, one white, white bird. And many children God give them grace, bringing tall candles to light Mary's face. Shall I fell you who will come to Bethlehem on Christmas Morn, who will kneel them gently dowr before the Lord, new-born.

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light. The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, And, gathered all above While mortals sleep,the angels keep Their watch of wondring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.

No ear may hear his coming But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in.
The Holy Night We sate among the stalls at Bethlehem The dumb kine from their fodder turning them, Softened their horned faces To almost human gazes Toward the newly Born The simple shepherds from the star-lit brooks Brought visionary looks, As yet in their astonied hearing rung The strange sweet angel-tongue The magi of the East, in sandals worn, Knelt reverent, sweeping round, With long pale beards, their gifts upon the ground, The incense, myrrh, and gold These baby hands were impotent to hold So let all earthlies and celestials wait Upon thy royal state. Sleep, sleep, my kingly One.
Christmas parable The stable boy had finished work that day, Had filled the manger with new, fragrant hay, Had fed the beasts, and usually would sleep Snuggled for warmth among the placid sheep But not tonight, for hed conceived a plan To join a merchants camel caravan And travel to far places.

MAGDALENE, n. An inhabitant of Magdala. Popularly, a woman found out. This definition of the word has the authority of ignorance, Mary of Magdala being another person than the penitent woman mentioned by St. Luke. It has also the official sanction of the governments of Great Britain and the United States. In England the word is pronounced Maudlin, whence maudlin, adjective, unpleasantly sentimental. With their Maudlin for Magdalene, and their Bedlam for Bethlehem, the English may justly boast themselves the greatest of revisers.

Angels and shepherds, birds of the sky, Come where the Son of God cloth lie Christ on earth with man cloth dwell, Join in the shout, 'Nol, Nol'
One of the most amazing things ever said on this earth is Jesus's statement 'He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.' Nobody has one chance in a billion of being thought really great after a century has passed except those who have been the servants of all. That strange realist from Bethlehem knew that.
