Mighty Near 1t.

It's getting close to Christmas; across the hills
and dells,
You can almost hear the Ginning and the rhym-
ing of the bells;
But the skies are clear and candid, with no
clouds that dream Of snLw,
And you hear in dark and twilight all the Elm
bugles blow.
It's getting close to Christmas; there's some
thing in the air
That seems to breathe Of Bethlehem and all the
glory there;
And sweet the bells and .bugles sound tlrH-Sn
our dreams OF rest
Ring bells your sWeetes: music! and bugles blow
your best.
It's getting close to Christmas. q, time of peace
and JOY!
And o, to be once more, once more, wakeful

With the stocking in the corner for old Santa
Claus to I'LL!
But we still thank God for Christmas, and we're
