"'To you, in David's town, this day Is born, of David's Un, The Saviour, w,,ho is Christ the Lord; And this shaîl be the sign: And this shall be the sign: "Ail glory be to God on high, And to the eýarth be peace:.

StiI through the dýoyen skies they corne With peaceful wings unfurled: And sf111l their heavenly musiýc fibats ,O'er ail the weary wiorild; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on ho1vering wing. And ever oçer its Babel sounds T-he blr_-"d angels sing. And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending, io, Who fou a long the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours corne swifly on the w[-ng; O rest beside the weary road, And hear the ang,,el sing. For lo, the days are hastning on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years, Cornes round the age of gold; When peace shail over ail the earth Ifs ancient spiendors fling, And thewhole world give back the sang Which now the angels sing. 6.
