THE BIRTH OF THE HOLY CHILD

From the December 1894 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Has Christ, the spiritual idea, Of Life and Truth and Love, Dawned on thy vision, weary one, Thy day star from above? Has Truth — the star of Bethlehem Its clear light shed o'er thee; To guide thee where the young child lay In sweet humility? Hast journeyed far from East or West, To bring thy treasures rare, And lay them at the feet of Love, With consecrated prayer? Do songs of peace come welling up From inner depths of love, To swell the grander chorus, Of angel songs above? "Peace, peace on earth; good will to men; " It is our Father's voice, Hushing the jarring notes of earth, Bidding our hearts rejoice. Lo! unto us a child is born; To us a Saviour's given.
