Try to be like Jesus.
The Bible tells of Jesus,
So gentle and so meek;
I'll try to be like Jesus
In ev'ry word I speak.
For Jesus, too, was loving,
His words were always kind;
I'll try to be like Jesus
In thought and word and mind.
I long to be like Jesus,
Who said "I am the Truth;"
Then I will give my heart to him,
Now, in my early youth.

The Little Lord Jesus.
Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky
Looked down where he lay—
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing,
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus;
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle
To watch Lullaby.
—Luther's Cradle Hymn

The Child Promised.
THERE was once a time when therewas no Christmas at all. There wereno beautiful Christmas trees and happysongs and stockings filled with presents.No one shouted "Merry Christmas!" or"Christmas Gift!"
