AT Thy nativity a glorious choir
OF angels in the fields of Bethlehem sang
To shepherds watchful of their folds by night
And told them the Messiah now was born;
Where they might see Him, and to Thee they came,
Directed to the manger where Thou layest,
For in the inn was left no better room.
A star, not seen before, I'm heaven appearing,
Guiding the wise men thither from the East
To honor Thee with incense, myrrh, and gold,
By whose bright course led on they found the
place
By which they knew the King of Israel born"
Christmas is the bright household festival that
comes to gladden. old Winter bring joy to life good
cheer, family gatherings. and tokens of love. To
children especially it is the happy epoch to be joy
