THE ANGELS SONG.

1t come upon the midnight clear.
Ths, glorious song Of old.
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their hsrrs of gold.
Peace 10 the earth. good will 10 men,
From heavens sl grscious King =
The world 10 solemn siilness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Sill through the eloVen skies they come
With peaceful wings uniurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
Der all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hoverng wing,
And o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
YET with The woes Of sin and strife
The world hath suffered long;
Beneath The sngeI strain have rolled
Two Thousand years Of wrong.
And man al war with man hears not
The love song which.,hey bring ;
Oh hush the noise, ye men Of siTl'e,
And hear The angels sing.
And ye. beneath llfe's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along The climbing way
With painful treps and slow.
Look now ! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on The wing,
Oh rest beside the weary road,
And hear The angels sing
For 10 the days are Fastening on,
By prophet bords (oretoId,
When with the circ'lng years
Come round he age OF gold.
When peace shall over all the earth
lis ancient sPendors, fling.
And the whole earth send, back the song
Which now the angels sing.
