CHRISTMAS MORN.

2.

Round that tender Infant,

Radiant beams are spread,
For the holy angels

Guard His lowly bed.
While the wond'ring shepherds

Come with Eastern Kings,
Kneel before the cradle

Where the Mother sings.

2es, the Lord Who loves us,

Here was humbly born,
Coming down to save us,

As on Christmas morn.
L?t us bow before Him,

At the manger-throne,
There behold the Saviour,

Men and Angels own.

2.

They looked up and saw a Star,
Shining in the East, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.

Nowell, &c.

3-

And by the light of that same Star,
Three Wisemen came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the Star wherever it went.

Nowell, &c.

This Star drew nigh to the north-west,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay, '
Right over the place where Jesus lay,

Nowell, &c.

Then entered in those Wisemen three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there, in His Presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Nowell, &c.

6.

Then let us all with one accord,
Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought,
And with His Blood mankind hath bought.

Nowell, &c.

2.

"Hither, page, and stand by me,

If thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he?

Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,

Underneath the mountain;
Right against the forest fence,

By Saint Agnes' fountain."

Tenor Solo. "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,
Bring me pine-logs hither;
Thou and I will see him dine,
When we bear them thither."
Chorus. Page and monarch forth they went,
Forth they went together;
Through the rude wind's wild lament;
And the bitter weather.

Treble Solo. "Sire, the night is darker now,

And the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer."
Tenor Solo. "Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."

5-

Chorus. In his master's steps he trod,

Where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod

Which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,

Wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor,

Shall yourselves find blessing.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry,

This blessed Babe was born,

And laid within a manger,
Upon this blessed morn;

The which His Mother Mary,
Did nothing take in scorn.

0 tidings, &c.

From God our Heavenly Father.

A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds

Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by Name.
0 tidings, &c.

"Fear not then," said the Angel,
"Let nothing you aflright,

This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgir bright,

To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings, &c.

The shepherds at those tidings

Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding,

In tempest, storm, and wind:
And went to Bethlehem straightway, '

The Son of God to find.

O tidings, &c.

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,

They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;

His Mother Alary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray.

O tidings, &c.

Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas

All other doth deface.

0 tidings, &c.

Sleep, holy Babe! Thine Angels watch around,
All bending low with folded wings,
Before the Incarnate King of kings,

In reverent awe profound.

3-

Sleep, Holy Babe! while I with Mary gaze
In joy upon that Face awhile,
Upon the loving infant smile

Which there divinely plays.

Sleep, holy Babe! ah! take Thy brief repose;
Too quickly will Thy slumbers break,
And Thou to lengthened pains awake,

That Death alone shall close.

2 For Christ is born of Mary,

And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love.
0 morning stars, together

Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King

And peace to men on earth.

3 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 receiveHim still,
The dear Christ enters in."

4 O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,

Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
Oh come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel! Amen.

P. Brooke.
