CHRI8TMA8 CAROL. The earth haa grown old with its burden of care, But at Christmas it is always young. The heart of the Jewel burns lustrous and fair. And Its houI full of music bursts forth on the air. When the Boug of the angels is sung. It is coming, old Earth, it is coming tonight! On the unowflaken which cover the sod. The feet of the Christ-child full gentle and white. And the voice of the Christ-child tells out with delight That mankind are the children of God. On the sad and the lonely, the wretched and poor, The voice of the Christ-child shall fall; And to every blind wanderer open the door Of hope that he dared not dream of before, With a sunshine of welcome for all. The feet of the humblest may walk in the field Where the feet of the holiest trod. This then, is the marvel to mortals revealed When the silvery trumpets of Christmas have pealed. That mankind are the children of God. Phillips Brooks
