MANAOG * THY RAYS, 0 wondrous Star, at night Did guide the three kings on their flight; Rich gifts they came to ·offer Him, The new born Prince in Bethlehem. And like those kings, 0 Christmas Star, We seek thy radiance from afar, To light dark hearts and saddened eyes; Shine on, 0 Star, from out the skies. * * * The Three Wise Men THERE were three kingly wise men Who came from far away, To see the little Je.sus sleeping In the manger on the hay. 'Twas in the shining starlight Their camels trotted all the way, To see the little Jesus sleeping In the manger on the hay. -Selected * * * Gifts GIFTS I have not of silver or jewels, But songs I will sing to that first Christmas Day; Sweet thoughts of love and of joy I am bringing To the dear little Baby asleep on the hay, -Selected • Teacher, Balaogan Public School, Bula, Camarines Sur. Christmas Everywhere By ANGEL V. CAMPOY* CHRISTMAS in the country, Christmas in the town, Christmas in the city, Christmas all around. People all are happy, Everybody's gay, Children all are merry, On this Christmas day. Angels in the heavens Sang hymns of lofty cheer, To tell to all the people That Christ, our Lord, is here. * * * Bright Star of Christmas BRIGHT star of Christmas, The shepherds have seen you tonight; Bright star of Christmas, The wise men will follow your light. Over the stable where sheep and cattle lay, Star brightly shining, You bring the Christmas Day. Low in a manger The Bethlehem Ba be they found; Though they be strangers, He smiles at them kneeling round. Gifts they will bring Him; Then up and on their way Filled with the wonder Of that first Christmas Day. ·-Selected •Formerly Head Teacher, Maslog Primary School,· Sibulan, Oriental Negros.
