CEDAR \ 'LLLE C< >LLT•.Gl:<.. 236 ~ NEW YEAR'S WISH :-: ! ....-..----~~~~~~~~~""'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~----~-----~~ The merry, merry uay are gune, ·11i e gladde. t uf the year, \\ itl1 C\1ri · trnas and Santa Clr1us And gifts from friend so dear. Our heart , filL:d up with Christmc1s joy, Have gi,·en to those we love. As Christ. whu came a little chi ld To Hetlilcham frnrn abo,·e, Gave all lie ltad i11 life a11d death To cleanse this worl d from sin, Tu drive the th ickening sto rm c louds out And let God's love light in . The Christmas time is past and gone, \Ve've done our p1rt, we say, Tu lighten manhood's burden and to point The Christ child way. But did we never stop to think, tha t He whom the Father gave To win a world from their idols back, From de truction's jaws to save, Gave all his life, a willing gift To save us from utt ~r lqs . From his manger birth at Bethlehem To his ueath on Calvary's Cro s . As we th ink it o'er, o[ what it cost Fo r the Sun o[ G,>d most h igh , W ho owed not a thing to t his vile world, T o leave his home in the sky, And come down to earth to hea l the s ick, The widow's son to raise, To cleanse the leper, and fill the mout h Of the dumb w:th ong of praise. As v. e think of these and a thousand More kin J deeds wrought by God 's Son, May we look in our hearts, each one, And see how little we have done . And as Father Time with sickle sh a rp Has reaper\ the year of elev en, And g 1the red it's million of human sou ls To th e ir place in Hell or Heaven ; As he's given to us a new clean page Without a stain or spot, 1Ylay we ke e p it faithfully day by day, Quite free from sin's dark b lot. May we tak e our G)d into confidence And promi se thruout the year, To do his will, as the Christ Chi ld did, Our Savior, Lord most dear. W , P . H ., '12.
