That old, old story O 'er again, -

A holy silence fills the air, ~
And every head is bowed in prayer,
While from the tower the joybells chime
At Christmas time
Far out upon the briny deep
The mariner his watch doth keep
For his bright, guiding Bethlehem star,
The beacon light that shines afar;
And, he sees its kindly rays,
He thinks Of home and other days,
OF loved ones in q distant cline
At Christmas time.

Dear friends and kindred meet once more,
To sit around the hearthstones q glow,
And hark to bells across the snow.
