About this book
A Christmas Faggot is by Alfred Gurney, M.A., and carries the line that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow to the glory of God the Father. The contents list pieces titled Yule Tide, The Madonna di San Sisto, Bethlehem Gate, Saint Joseph and A Cradle Song. The author writes that the Gospel Songs, listed as Benedictus, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, all celebrate the Great Nativity.
The verses under Yule Tide say that the Royal Birthday dawns again, a stricken world to bless, when sufferers forget their pain and mourners their distress. Verses about the Child of Bethlehem say that babes bring their blessing from afar, enriching all who wait on them by being what they are. Another piece of verse speaks of a voice from heaven that spake aloud, heard clearly by the Bridegroom's friend when he saw the Dove descend, and of the jubilance of bridal mirth first felt at Cana.
