A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
■ "He hath visited and redeemed His people." From the "Eastern land, where the Child was bom, Flcvats music of angels sweet. As the sapphire sky on Christmas morn lights her golden stars to greet The King so I'nir on His Mother's breast, For lie comes from lli.s Home sibovo— A holy shrine and a lowly rest For Jesus, Lord of Love! All bail, Blest Babe! In our hearts a throne All eagerly we prepare; Kieher than earth's most precious stone The soul that receives Him there! An altar high, where He lives to shed On each weary pilgrim still The Heavenly Peace, the mystic Bread, Prom Sion's fruitful hill. Abide with us. Lord, on our festnl day! Leaving trouble and tears behind, To the Manger ha-sto by the rose-crowned W, The Glorious Son to find! He Imls you kneel in His Holy Place That He, the Kedeemer, may show Tho treasures ut His eternal grace, And why He oame below! -George Ralph Fotherslon.
