Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets ahineth The everlasting: liffht: The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is bom of Mary; And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the anjrels keep Their watch of wondering love. 0 morning- stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So Cod imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven, No ear rrav hear his coming; But in this* world of sin, WTiere meek souls will receive still The dear Christ enters in. 0 holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in— Re born in us today! We hear the Ohristmaa angels The great glad Hriiiurs tell; Oh. come to us. abide with US, Our Lord Emm:mn°l! —Phillips Brooks.
