pie is the earth, and the top crust the
sky that oYerreaches it. The opening

slip through his fingers are the golden
sunshine. The Queen in the kitchen
is the moon, and the honey with which
she relishes herself is the moonlight.
The maid is the day dawn and the

There's a song in the airl
There's star In the skyl
There's mothers deep prayer,
And baby's low oryl
And the star rains It's FIRE while the besu'iiui

For the nanger Of Bethlehem cradles king
There's a tumult ofjoy
Der the wonderful birth,
For the Virgins sweet boy
Is the Lord OF the earth.
Ave- the star rains It's Gre and the beautiful

For the manger OF Bethlehem cradles KING
In the light OF that star
Lie the ages impearled;
And that song fiom altar
Has swept over the world.
Every hearth is aHame. and the beauiilu

In the homes of the nations that Jesus

And we eono the song
That comes djwn through the n'ght
From the heavenly throng.

And we set in his cradle cur sayiom am
