Among his popular writings are the two Christmas stories, “The Other Wise Man” (1896) and “The First Christmas Tree” (1897). Various religious themes of his work are also expressed in his poetry, hymns and the essays collected in Little Rivers (1895) and Fisherman’s Luck (1899). He wrote the lyrics to the popular hymn, “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” (1907), sung to the tune of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”. There is some water stains on the first few pages.
