A Record Mailing
THE CHRISTM AS STORY
It may be in a stately cathedral
Or a little church, weathered and
old,
It may be on a ship, far out on
the sea,
That the Christmas story Is told.
The story that seems to grow
sweeter,
As we hear It agatn and again,
The story of little Lord Jesus
Sent of God, to be King among
men,
Gone are the ancient Judeana,
But the star still shines as of old,
And the children still listen In
wonder
When the Christmas story Is told.
After the story Is ended,
And we welcome a new year again,
May the spirit ot Christmas still
linger,
Long In the hearts of men.
