Christmas Hymn.

OVER Bethlehem's pleasant plains Heavenly music rang; Songs of praise in chorus sweet Choirs celestial sang. Joyously was ushered in Earth's first Christmas morn, When the blessed Prince of Peace, Christ the Lord, was born.
“Glory be to God most high,” Sung the host above; “Peace on earth, good-will to men, From the God of love. Fear not: unto you this day Tidings good we bring,— Christ is born, the great High Priest, Heaven's anointed King!”
Sages filled with sacred joy Hastened from afar Unto where the Saviour lay, Guided by his star, Bringing precious, costly gifts,— Gold, and incense sweet,— And in lowly reverence bowed At Immanuel's feet.
Though we bring not offerings rare,— Incense, myrrh, and gold,— Saviour, we would not from thee Love and praise withhold. Songs of joy from grateful hearts Unto Heaven we lift; Glory be to God most high For his Christmas-gift.
