And,lo' the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone Tound about them,’’ 4c.—Luke ii, 8, 9. What are these ethereal strains Floating o’er Judea’s plains? Burning spirits throng the sky, With their lofty minstrelsy ; Hark ' they break the midnight trance vGlery es utterance “Glory to and peace to men, Christ tsborn in Bethlehem!” Qtench, ye types, your feeble ray, Shadows, ye may melt away! Prophecy, your work is done; Gospel ages have begun ! Temple ! quench your altar fires, For these radiant argel-chotrs Toa ruined world proclaim— Christ is born in Bethlehem ! Pillow’d is His infant head On a borrow’d manger-bed ! Ale around whosethrone above Angelis hymn’d their —s of love, Now ts wrapt by virgin hends In earth’s meanest swaddling bands; Once adored by seraphim ' Now a Babe in Bethlehem!
