Show Christ Is Born I by Louise F. Elmendorf 'The world, late racked with pain through bloody yearn. (,; climbed Us weary long-pathea ( 'alvary. Where millions died. M Christ, ; that they might free I Others from wrong, and black op- pression's tears. ' Once more now through the world comes to our ears The song of all the ages, "Christ is born." Mute tomjued to notes of joy have been the bells, And only childhood and old age dared try J'o sing, so near the threatening battle sky. The song that told, though dulled by shrieking shells Whose bursting turned a thousand , homes to hells, The wonder of the ages, "Christ y is born." Our faith in Ood has brought to us , the goal; War-weary lands have peace on earth again; And in . the scarred and fire- , purged hearts of men, Made sweet and strong by suffering of the soul, Through travail of a world once more made whole, Anew in human hearts the Christ is born. Dear Ood, the Christmas songs are fraught with prayer That Thou wilt be with those whose tears still pay That we may have the glory of this day; That men may live their thanks; l that lives may bear Eternal witness for Thee, everywhere every-where Proclaiming that in us the Christ it born.
