"PEACE AND GOOD WILL, GOOD WILL AND PEACE."
"PEACE and good will, good will and peace!"
Year after year with sweet increase
The heavenly card swells:
The holy tale of Jesu's birth
In ever-widening circles earth
With tongues unnumbered tells.

Once more the vision glorified
Appears with blessed Christmas-tide—
The Virgin full of grace;
And in her arms the Child Divine,
The God-Man born of David's line,
New head of Adam's race.

The very nature that we wear,
His Godhead veiled, He stoops to share
In great humility;
And angel legions round Him dose
And Heaven with boundless praise o'erflows
That such a love could be.
