Christmas Song.

In the darkness of the morning
Shepherds on the eastern plain
Saw glorious brightness dawning,
Heard "A joyful, sweet refrain:
''Glory in the highest
Peace on earthl''
Then before them, wondering, listening,
Came the beauteous angel train,
Came in garments brightly glistening,
Singing DER and Ger again:
''Glory in the highesti
Peace on earthl"
Tell TO all below the story
OF the wondrous Saviour's birth.
Tell of how he came from glory
To be crowned the King of earth.
Glory in the highest
Peace on earthl
Sin no more shall close heavens portals.
Open far and wide they swing.
For Messiah unto mortals
Full forgiveness now doth bring.
Glory in the highesti
Peace on earthl

There has been no gradual sprea ding
OF the fever here this time. In former
