What can I give Him
Poor as I am;
If I were a shepherd,
I would give Him a lamb.
If I were a wise man,
I would do my part.
But what can I give Him?
I will give him my heart.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Ruth Dixon

The night was cool, the night was still,
The desert sand was soft and white,
And there were stars up in the sky
And one was bright.
And silently it shone upon
The Wise Men as they rode along,
While in their hearts the Wise Men sang
A Christmas song.
And when they reached the manger, there
Was Mary with her new-born child,
And when He saw His gifts, I'm sure
The Baby smiled.

THE FIRST NIGHT
Louise Ayres Garnett

The stable door was closed that night,
But through the cracks no bolts could bar
The light of holy innocence
Burst like a spraying star.
Even the beasts were glad He came.
They knelt in patience where He lay,
Content to yield for His baby head
Their evening meal of hay.
