Hark! how the jov bells‘ silver peal rings far across the snow, Whilst twinkling stars, like angeld, throw their Christmas smiles below; The night‘s filled with devotion, and upon her jeweled wings A song of love comes floating, and a wealth of joy it brings. It tige= all bearts to beating, with its notes of right good cheer; Those voices of the midnight sing to bless the coming year. Their song has rung for ages on the quickened pulse of time Andâ€"‘"Gloria in Excelsis"â€"is the burden of its thyme. Then twine a holly wreath of joy,while bright the Â¥nleâ€"log glows And raise your voices in the song that from yon belfry flows; It steals far c‘er the city like an angel‘s whispered prayer; j It fills all hearts with gladness and aweet leaves its message there.
