1
    Calm on the listening ear of night
  Come Heaven’s melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches far
  Her silver-mantled plains.
          Christmas Song.
2
    It came upon the midnight clear,
  That glorious song of old.
          The Angels’ Song.
3
    For lo! the days are hastening on,
  By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years,
  Comes round the age of gold;
When Peace shall over all the earth
  Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world send back the song
  Which now the angels sing.
          The Angels’ Song.
