IX. A CHRISTMAS SONG.

Previous

The following anonymous poem so exquisitely expresses the true Christmas thanksgiving and joy that we give it with this collection of Christmas thoughts, regretting that we are not able to give the name of the author also.

"There is a song so thrilling,

So far all songs excelling,

That he who sings it sings it oft again;

No mortal did invent it,

But God by angels sent it,

So deep and earnest yet so sweet and plain.

"The love that it revealeth

All earthly sorrows healeth,

They flee like mist before the break of day;

When, oh, my soul, thou learnest

This song of songs in earnest

Thy cares and sorrows all shall flee away."
