Help us remember the Christ,
For He is the true reason
That we celebrate Christmas
And make such jubilation:
He brought glad tidings of peace
And the gift of salvation.
So, just another Christmas?
Oh, no, may it never be.

My mind slipped back to childhood days,
When we would sit and rock for hours;
I thought of Mom’s little garden and smiled
When I

THE WAY IN A MANGER
To the tune of “Away in a Manger.”
The Way in a manger,
Was God’s only Son,
He came down to save us
From sin, we had done.
