"It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old.
The angels, bending near the earth,
Their wondrous story told
Of peace on earth, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King;
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing."
So run the lines of the familiar hymn adapted to the Christian Science Hymnal. As the Christmas season again draws nigh, what thinking person on this distraught planet does not "in solemn stillness," in unvoiced longing, listen for the
"... music of this
Far-off, infinite, Bliss!"
