A Christmas Hymn
No tramp of marching armies. No banners flaming far; A lamp within a stable. And in the sky a Star. Their hymns of peace and gladness To earth the angels brought. Their Gloria in Excelsis To earth the angels taught; When in the lowly manger The Holy Mother Maid In tender adoration Her Babe of Heaven laid. Born lowly in the darkness. And none so poor as He, The little children of the poor His very own shall be. No rush of hostile armies then. But just the huddling sheep; .The angels singing of the Christ. And all the world asleep. No flame of conquering banners. No legions sent afar; A lamp within a stable. And in the sky a Star. Margaret E. Sangster.
