a MERRY. MERRY oHR1srmAs.

We've decked the church with ivy
And holly-branches gay,
We've wreathed the shining laurel
Round font and pillars gray;
And now We come right gladly
To join the angels strain
or peace on earth and glory
To God again.
On that first blessed Christmas.
The wise men, we've been told,
Brought gifts to the child Jesus,
Myrrh, frankincense, and gold;
And we, though little children,
Have love as deep as they,
And long to bring some ring
This Christmas-day.
We have no gold to bring him,
No spices rare and sweet.
But he doth call the children;
So, kneeling at his feet,
Well give ourselves, dear Jesus,
And earnestly We'll pray
To be kept very faithful
Fen from to-day.

Our Darling Dead.
Suffer little children to come unto me, for o.
such is the kingdom of Heaven"
Low in the mourner's seat
Our palld lips repeat
Their tale of death--that old and bitter story
And mourn our darling dead,
Upon whose haloed head
Serenely shines coronet of glory
"Thine was a weary lot,
Tossed on thy painful cot;
But now with Gods great glory round thee she'd
ding
A light ont-beaming far
The brightest shining star,
Thy baby feet the golden streets are treading."
Earth's scenes ye could not prize,
Poor, little, patient eyes,
But now ye gaze on Godhead comprehendng;
No fruit of storied lore
The tree of knowledge bore
Elndes thy ken, our human thought transcending.
What sage in wisdom old
Thy knowledge may unfold?
What mortal learn the language thou are singing 7
What poet crowned with bays SF.
Could sing those songs of praise,
UT tell tne awful glories round thee clingipg2
Rest trembling, tiny feet,
Beneath the winding sheet,
Unused to tread our earthly paths of sorrow.
Ye sweep the starry way,
In long, blissfnl day,
Which knows no yesterday and no Tomorrow.
Nowords of human speech
Thy little tongue could reach,
But uttered sighs of pitiful complaining;
Weak, wailing, infant cries, f
While in thy mournful eyes
We saw the light Of, life was slowly waning.
But now, with rapturons tongue,
What wondrous songs are sung,
BY thy sweet voice, the angel-chorus swelling;
Around The Great White Throne,
Where the redeemed alone
The triumphs Of the Lamb are proudly telling,
Mid waving golden palms,
Mid burst of sanity psalms
Mid clouds Of incense eyermore ascending;
Though tides Of music rolled
From shining harps of gold,
And chorus Of sweet singers softly blending.
Amen---so let II be ~
Lord, we would trust In thee,
That the bruised reed thy grace may bind from
breaking,
Trust some bright morn to meet
Safe at our Saviour's feet,
When the last trump shall peal ourg glad awaking
