A'HYMN or PEACE.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
10 he music OF Keller's american Hynn'D
tDr Holmes has written the following hymn for the
Peace jubilee In Boston:l
ANGEL of Peace, thou hast wandered too long 1!
love!
Come while our voices are blended in song
Fly to our ark like the storm beaten dove!
Fly to our ark on the wings of the dove
Speed DER the far-soundng bilows of song,
Crowned with thine Olive-leaf garland of love-
Angel OF Peace, thou hast waited too long !
Brothers we meet on this altar of thine,
Mlnghng the gifts we have gathered for thee,
Sweet with the OdOrs of myrtle and pine,
BLeeze OF the prairie and breath of the sea-
Meadow and mountain and forest and sea
Sweet is the fragrance of myrtle and pine,
Sweeter the incense we offer to thee,
Brothers once more round this altar of thine
Angels of Bethlehem answer the strain
Hark! o new birth song is filling the sky!
Loud as the storm wind that tumbles the main
Bid the full breath of the organ reply
Let the loud tempest of voices reply
Roll its long surge like the earth-shaking
main!
Swell the vast song till it mounts to the sky
Angels of Bethlehem, echo the strain!
