Long lay the world in' sin and error pining, Tilileaperd and the soul feit its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorlous morn; Fail on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O, night divine! O night when Christ was' born; O, night divine! O,. night, O night divine! IIOIDAY! There's no better time to, wish our friends4 the besti Morry Christmasl * Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradie we stand. So, led by light of a star - sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from the Orient land. The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger, In ail our trials born to be our friend; He knows our needs, to our weaknesses no stranger; Behold, your King! Before Him lowly bend!. Behold your King, your King, before Him bend! Truly Hetaught us to love one aother; Ris law is love and Ris Gospel is Peace. Chains shahl He break, for the slave is our brother, And in His name ail oppression - shahl cease. Sweet hymns -of joy in grateful chorus raise we; Let ail within us praise His holy name! Christ is the Lord! Then ever praise we! R is pow'r and glory ever-more proclaim! Ris pow'r and glory ever-more proclaim! 1 HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY I heard the belîs on Christmas Day, Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat 0f peace on earth good will to men. I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of ail Christendom Had rolled'along th'unbroken song 0f peace on earth good will to men. And in despair 1 bowed rny head, "There is no peace on earth", I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song- 0f peace on earth good will to men. Then pealed the belis more loud and deep, God is flot dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth good will to men. Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolv'd from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, 0f peace on earth good will to men. 4 * * .s *- '0 I
