Saluts the happy znorn Whereon the Saviour of man-ldnd was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love', Which hosts of angels chanted frorn above; With them the joyful tidings first begunY 0f God incarnate and the Virgin's Son. Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard the angeiic herald's voice, 'Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth' To you and ail the nations upon earth; This day bath God fulfilled His promised word; This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord'. He spakýe, and straightway the celestial choir Irn hymns ofjoy unknown before conspire Thé praises of redeeming love they sang And heaven's whole orb with allelulas rang God's bighest glory was their anthem stili Peace upon earth, and unto men good will To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran, To see the wonder God had wrought for man,. And found with Joseph and the Blessed Maid, Her son, the Saviour, in a manger laid; Then to their flocks, still praising God, return,, And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn. 0 may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrouslove in saving lost mankind; *Trace we the Babe who has retrieved our loss From His poor manger to His bitter cross.

I WONDER AS I WANDER I wonder as I wander out under the sky, How Jesus the Saviour cid corne for to die. For people, just people like you and like. 1, I wonder as I wander out under the sky. When Mary bore Jesus, 'twas in a cow's staîl, With wise men and farmers and shepherds and ail. But higb from God's beaven a star?s light did fali. And the promise of ages it then did recall. If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing A s ta r in the sky or a bird on the wing, Or ail of God's angels in beav'n for to sing, He surely could bave it, for Hue was the King.
