There are sounds in the sky when the
year grows old,
And the winds Of the winter blow
When night and the moon are clear
and cold
And the stars shine on the snow.
or wild is the blast and the winter sleet
That beats on the window pane;
But best on the frosty hiffs are the
feet,
OF the Christmas time again,
Ginning sweet when the night wind
Blest is the sonnd of the Chri, tmas
Bells
The years that have fled like the leaves
on the gale,
Since the morn of the Miracle Birth,
Have widened the fame of the marvel
Gus tale,
Till the tidings have filled the earth!
And so in the climes of the icy North,
And the lands OF the cane and the palm,
By the Alpine cOtter's blazing hearth,
And in tropic belts of calm,
When list tonight the welcome swells,
Sweet and clear, of Christmas Bells!
The years come not back that have cir
cled away.
With the past of the Eastern land,
bath day
And healed the withered hand;
But the bells shall join in joyous
chime
For the one who walked the sea,
And ring again for the better time,
OF the Christ that is to be!
Then ring for earth's best promise
dwells
Inye, O joyous Prophet Bells!
