£TsV"N Angel rose from the heavens 
 
 Fairer than morning light; 
 The radiance of her coming 
 
 Dispelled the clouds of night. 
 Her brow was calm and holy, 
 And peace was in her face; 
 The bright wings in their passing 
 
 Left many a lustrous trace.

 OFT clouds parted for her; 
 
 Morning" stars sang sweet; 
 Rough winds ceased, and rested 
 
 Becalmed, beneath her feet. 
 And hushed in happy silence 
 
 The listening air around, 
 Expectant of the voice divine. 
 
 Stilled each recurring- sound. 
 
M"HEN through all the heavens 
 
 Rang out that wondrous voice, 
 " Glad tidings ! Unto you is horn 
 
 A Heavenly King. Rejoice ! 
 'Wake, Earth, to hail your Saviour 
 With holy love, and fear. 
 The promised one is given; 
 
 The Son of God is here."

 ■>AR over hill and valley, 
 
 The stirring notes were borne; 
 As the strains of triumph echoed 
 
 In the early light of morn. 
 The herald of love and mercy 
 
 Sped on her gladsome way ; 
 And dawned on a world rejoicing, 
 
 The glorious Christmas day.
