Christmas Eve.
Loud roared the ¦¦ vm d that Christmas eve In gorgeous coloured flame , Flashing across tho stormy sky The rahiboAV Avent and came . Ob ! glittering drops , oh ! storm-cloud weather Praise , magnify the Lord for eA er .
Loud roared the wind , but louder yet The Church ' s joyous strain , The forest clapped its thousand hands In ansAvor back again , NOAV from the branch our fair boughs sever , We come to praise our God for eA er .
The stately cedar bent its head , Fb tree , and box , ancl pine , Mingled their boughs with ivy spray , And laurel ' s glittering shine , And oh ! more hrved than all beside
Holly of green and scarlet pride . Shake off tbe icicles and KIIOAV , Bmd Ave the boughs together , Once safe Avithin the quiet porch Who cares how wild the weather , Hail storms Avithout and temp est din , All holy calm ancl peace Avithin ,
Oh ! pillars Avhite , oh ! Avindovrs bright , Oh ! marble paved floor , Altar ! where sabits ancl angels meet With mortals to adore , Oh aisles by many a pilgrim , trod , Now in tbe city of his God .
Oh loved abode , IIOAV fair thou art , But when our task is clone , When wreaths ancl cross ancl coronal Welcome to morroAv ' s sun , Shall it not be more fair to meet
The coming of his blessed loci . For the King cometh , shouts of joy Circle creation round , Up to the very heavens they reach Ancl angels catch the sound ,
Till earth ancl heaven combine to raise One loud grand thunder-clap of praise . Ffu . vi . 'B . EJIRA .
