Christmas Greetings.
By John G. Wurman. &^7 OTJND over all waters, reach out from all lands, . yg\ The chorus of voices, the clasping of hands; Q$J ' Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the \§) morn, Sing songs of the angels when Jesus was born. With glad jubilations Bring hope to the nations ! The dark night is ending, and day has begun ; Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun. All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one. Sing the bridal of nations, -with chorals of love, Sing out the war vulture and sing in the dove, Till the hearts of the people keep time in accord, And the voice of the world is the voice of the Lord ! ■ Clasp hands of the nations In strong gratulations ; The dark night is ending, the dawn has begun : Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the snn, All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one. Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace, Bast, west, north and south, let the long quarrel cease ; Sing the song of great joy that the angels began, Sing of glory to C-rod and good will to man. Hark ! joining in chorus The heavens bend o'er us. The dark night is ending, and day has begun ; Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun. All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one.
