Christmas Hymn.
Bring lilies fair, of white and gold, And tell again the story old, The Angel to the shepherds told, j Of Bethlehem. Jesu ! Sweet Babe, that Hest there" Cradled m gentle Mary's care, Adore we, m that casket rare, Thy Holy Light ! Star of our Race ! whose deathless ray, Sent forth from realms of endless Day, - Doth guide Thy brethren's toilsome way To our own Land. We worship, Lord, Thy Spirit's might Piercing the darkness of the night, And glory m each wrong made right ! Through the Lord Christ. Dear Lord, at this high festival, When Thou incarnate wast for all, Help us to see Thy coronal Above Thy Cross. To throne the Christ m every thought, To shed from every action wrought, Reflexion of the radiance brought ; By Thy pure life. So shall that mighty Spirit grow Within the hearts of all below, Make darkness light and joy bestow Upon us all. Father of Spirits ! God Most High ! Whom Jesus brought to us so nigh Glory and praise eternally For Christ Thy Son. Amen. — B.T.H.
