CHRISTMAS CAROL.
O lovely voices of the sky,
That hymn'd the Saviour's birth!
Are ye not singing still on high,
Ye that sang, "Peace on earth?"
To us yet speak the strains
Wherewith, in days gone by,
Ye bless'd the Syrian swains,
O voices of the sky!
O clear and shining light, whose beams
That hour Heaven's glory shed
Around the palms, and o'er the streams,
And on the Shepherds' head;
