A Alone with you in sweet content.
R Reasons I may not be able to express,

A And here are a few reasons, Dear wife.
 
M Mostly, I like the way that you look,

John Byrom – gave this, Dec. 25, 1845

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn
Whereon the Savior of the world was born.
Rise to adore the mystery of love
Which hosts of angels chanted from above,
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God incarnate and the virgin’s Son.
Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard th’angelic herald’s voice, “Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Savior’s [...]

Easy or Hard – Now or Later

The easy road

Martin Luther – wrote on this date, Dec. 24, 1534

From heaven above to earth I come
To bear good news to every home;
Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
Whereof I now will say and sing:

To you this night is born a child
Of Mary, chosen virgin mild;
This little child, of lowly birth,
Shall be the joy of all the earth.
3.
This is the Christ, our God and Lord,
Who [...]

Is a marvelous thing.
It can hear a melody
That the mouth can sing.
It can see a landscape
That the hand can sketch.
And it can smell aromas:
A recipe, and catch.

William H Doane – death, Dec. 23, 1915

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Refrain
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief,
Kneeling there in deep contrition;
Help my unbelief.
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my [...]

John Thomas McFarland – death, Dec. 22, 1913

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And [...]
