CHRISTMAS POEMS AND CAROLS.
79
Ring, sweet bells of Christendom,
Far and near the tidings tell
How the Lord to earth did come—
   Ring and bell!

Join, good Christians, east and west,
In Emmanuel's endless praise,
And with deeds of mercy best
   Show His praise!

Still the Christmas angels sing:
"Glory be to God Most High!"
The eternal echoes ring:
   "God Most High!"

Lift your songs in unison:
"Peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Mingle song and life in one
   Wide "Amen!"
