A Christmas Hymn.
BY THE LATE ROBERT T. CONRAD.

lFrom an Unpublished MS
Where, where is he7 Thus spake the sages
Who sought their Savior from afar;
The King-the God-the Rock of ages,
Who hither led uS with his starr
Where is the King? But, star-forsaken,
They searched the palace halls in vain;
That Star of Hope its light was breaking
Der "a low hut on Bethlehems olain
They s,.w-re,oiced-and knelt before him;
And was it strange that thus they bowed
When Gods own Star was beaming Ger him,
And angel anthems hymn'd aloud2
'To God be Glory.'' Spirit voices,
In Heaven attitude now thrill the the earth;
s'And peace to man." thus Heaven rejoices
Over the Man-God's humble birth.
Joy, For our orb's eclipse is over.
joy. Earth grows green in Heavens own breath
With Faith around, and love above her,
Hope to the hopeless--bliss to DEATH
.'oy. Joy. With angles voices ringing
Over the EARTH can earth be dead?
Let praise, and prayer, aud joy, upspringng
From world saved, the glory spread.
Joy7 For the faithful shall not perish.
Christ lives to save, died to atone;
But let this truth each bosom cherish:
He sares the pure in heart alone.
