What joy to mortal eye
To gaze far out across the dark

To the lights in the evening sky.

Her loyeliest phase rs showing
And Venus hanging near
Like golden censor's glowing.

And the red war god. Mars.

Are brightest among the stars
And the Pleiades, that mystic group
Like seven tiny lamps are burning
While the Great Boar is, forever.
About the pole star turning.
Far of in yon milky way
Countless suns.in distant splendor roll.
The grandeur Of the works OF God
Amaze the loftiest soul.
For He hath made Item all
And set them IN the dome above,
There forever To witness
or His mighty power and love.
And when wise men from out the east
Pursued their Journey DER the wild
He sent the Star OF Bethlehem
To lead them to the CHILD.
And while celestial lights were shining
Angels chant,'d sweet REFRAIN

Peace on earth. good will towards
