Christmas Carol.
by Phillips Brooks

ny hiilipo DlOOho
The earth has grown old with its bur-
den of care,
But at Christmas 1t always is young,
The heart of the jewel burns lustrous
and fair,
And its soul full of music bursts forth
on the air,
When the song of the angels is sung.
1t is coming, Old Earth, it is coming
tonight
On the snow-hakes which cover thy
sod
The feet of the Christ child fall gentle
and white,
And the voice of the Christ-child tells
out with delight
That mankind are the children of God
On the sad and the lonely, the wretched
and poor,
The voice of the Christ.child shall
fall;
And to every blind wanderer open the
door
OF hope that he dared not to dream OF
before,
With sunshine of welcome for all
The feet of the humblest may walk in
the field
Where the feet of the hottest trod
This, then, is the marvel to mortals re.
vealed
When the silvery trumpets of Christ
mas have pealed,
That mankind are the children of God
