many homes in Pensacola through the
singing Of the beautiful Christmas
carols throughout the city on the
| evening of this happy anniversary
day.
Mrs. Lee is going to lead the chill
| dren again this year, and she invites
! all the children in the city who would
| like TO take part to meet her at

SILENT NIGHT.
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child,
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glorious stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ, the Saviour, is born,
Christ, the Saviour, is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son Of God, loves pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeening grace,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
NO. 81.
o little town Of Bethlehem!
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born Of Mary
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep. the angels keep
Their watch OF wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings OF His Heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world Of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him
still,
Tho 6ear Christ enters in,
NO. SO.
Hark. the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
Cod and sinners reconciled!
joyful all We nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
with the angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Christ. by highest heaven adored;
Christ. the everlasting Lord;
late in time behold Him come
offspring Of the Virgins womb.
Yelled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the Incarnate Diety'
plea sed as Man with manNto dwell
Jesus. our Emmanuel
NO. SO.
II came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old.
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, goodwin TO hleh'
From heavens all-gracious hlnS'
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing
SIN through the cloven skies they
come,
with neaceful wings unfurled;
And stiu their heavenly music floats
Der all the weary world:
Above its sad and lonely plains
They bend on lowering wing
And ever Ger it's Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
y va heneath life's crushing load,
whose forms are bending low
who toll along the climbing way
with painful steps and SLOW r,s
T ooll now, for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing
Oh. rest beside the weary road'
And hear the angels sing.
