CHRISTMAS.

Hark! What glad voices are joyfully ringing

               Through the stillness of morn o’er the yet sleep-

                        ing earth! ‘T is a chorus of angels in harmony singing,

            “The Saviours of sinners to-day has his birth.

 

“Glory to God in the highest be given,

            Peace and good be proclaimed upon earth,

Jesus, Messiah anointed of Heaven,
