“A holy happy Christmas”, Vintage Postcard, Artist: Malcolm McGregor Jamieson, Jr.
WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES
Christmas comes to every land,
Christmas comes o’er desert sand,
Christmas comes in artic cold,
Christmas comes to Eastern fold:
What is Christmas?
Christmas comes for girls and boys,
Christmas comes with games and toys,
Christmas comes with ringing bells,
Christmas comes and music swells:
What is Christmas?
Christmas comes to cattle shed,
Christmas comes to shepherd led,
Christmas comes to wise men afar,
Christmas comes with guiding star:
What is Christmas?
Christmas comes with Jesus’ birth,
Thus it came at first to earth;
Thus it comes to everyone,
When he by faith accepts the Son:
This is Christmas.
