The angels of His presence sang
In joyful strain on Christmas morn.
"Peace on the earth, good will to men:
The Saviour of the world is born!"
The listening ear still hears this song,
Borne on the harmonies of Soul,
Above the range of mortal thought,
Beyond belief of time's control.
Within your consciousness and mine,
Oh, may this active peace abide,
The unity of God and man,
Which mortal sense can never hide.
