BIRTH OF CHRIST.


The angel on the wigs
OF wind left Heav'n at the command Of God,
And swift upon her pumes descended low
To earth and hal'd the favored of the Lord,
And sad Fear not, for thou shalt bear a


son,


And Jesus shalt thou call his name"


Long silence reigned in Heav'n;
The strings Of all the harps were mute The
Seraphic choirs were hush'd; and nought but
And wond'ring whispers broke the solemn ar.
And in amazement did the angels at
Each other gaze the smiles which sat upon
Their brows did fade, and melancholy signs
Resumed their place, as was decided who
Should die for man. In silence did train
Ofangel mournerS follow, as it were,
To Heavens threshold, the sacred One who
TO leave them and descend to earth and then
Returned to muse upon the issue of
His work.

ASIDE; and, passing by the throne which was
All radiant with inviting splendor, cast
a ling ring look upon the beauties Of

And LETT still sounding in the ears of the
Astounded angels, the ng'ring echoes of
His last response, +" Lo now come, as it
Is written OF me, to do thy will, oh, God "


Hail! Babe of Bethlehem
We hail with joyous hearts thy humble birth,
And Joy 10 call thee ours Though kings de

And princes mock thy name and worship, ,ee
Low at thy shrine will bow and confess My
Superiority. In thee we see
Two natures closely joined, Divine and human.
we see IN thy assumption of our flesh,
The love OF God for man, and with what great

And wise men bring their off rings at thy fee
Oh, Prince Of life DAVIS.
