CHRISTMAS POEMS AND CAROLS.

Gloria in Excelsis!
Chant adoring voices;
Round the sacred Altar
Heaven with earth rejoices;
Men and angels carolling
Crown the Christ-Child Lord and King;
Crown the Son of Mary.
Chant adoring voices;
Round the sacred Altar
Heaven with earth rejoices;
Men and angels carolling
Crown the Christ-Child Lord and King;
Crown the Son of Mary.
Gloria in Excelsis!
Who but hears the voices!
Swayed by mirth so holy
All that lives rejoices.
Fast indeed the door must be
That will open not to Thee,
Jesus, Son of Mary!
Who but hears the voices!
Swayed by mirth so holy
All that lives rejoices.
Fast indeed the door must be
That will open not to Thee,
Jesus, Son of Mary!
