LOOKING BACKWARDS
THROUGH. THE SENTINEL FILES
CHRISTMAS
THOUGHTS
By. Ena Steer
The days and months have slipped
away,
And Watt it will be Christmas Day;
What does' that mean to you and
me,'
As all around. turmoil we see;,
Are we cast down, our faith less
strong.
Oh how we need the . angels song,
For in those' days of long ago.
God sent his son to earth below;
Yet even then, the world seemed
mad,
Evil was rampant, the people sad;
Then Jesus came and there was
hope.
To gladden men's hearts and help
them cope, -
With unjust ways and heavy taxes,
For that was how the Romans
acted,
But we're so glad that Jesus came,
To show Gods love that will
remain.
So as we now proclaim his birth,
And praise him that he came to
earth.
Let us be faithful all our days,
And show we love Min by our
ways.
For He bids us hear the angels
song,
And follow the shepherd who came
one by one;`
To gaze at the babe who lay quietly
there.
With Mary and-Joseph
so bare,
An so like the wise men,
Who came bringing treasure.
May we bring our love, a bountiful
measure.
And then unto 'others, who are sick
and so lonely.
Share our rich blesslings.
They are not for us only;
To help us Oh God to kneel and
adore thee,
And read once again, the old Xmas
