C. H. R. I. S. T. M. A. S.      (2^nd card) [1]     (song) ^[2]

 

C       Christ, Creator, came to comfort,

H       Heaven’s hope for a heavy heart.

R       Redeemer from ritualism, Real Resort.

I        Infant, now Immanuel, ideals to impart.

S       Savior for sinner’s shame sent;

T       Taking trouble’s tyrant to task.

M      Master of mere mortals, magnificent,

A       And Answer to all who truly ask.

S       Serve this Savior, this Sacred Season.

                – eab, Dec. ’66
