CHRISTMAS ANGEL
Lo, the sweet Christmas Angel, high and far,
In the clear, silent ether, poised between
The light, white crescent and the golden star,
Floats o'er the dreaming world with brow serene.
In the clear, silent ether, poised between
The light, white crescent and the golden star,
Floats o'er the dreaming world with brow serene.
The sweet and stately Angel! on the air
Loosing her fair white dove, to cleave the blue
Down the wide spaces of the sky to bear
On snowy pinions peace and joy to you!
Loosing her fair white dove, to cleave the blue
Down the wide spaces of the sky to bear
On snowy pinions peace and joy to you!
Peace and good-will to men! Look up and hail
The tidings beautiful, the news of cheer!
O Sons of Earth, the promise shall not fail
Of love that saves, and hope that knows no fear!

O Sons of Earth, the promise shall not fail
Of love that saves, and hope that knows no fear!
