Suitable till Candlemas.

E. H. Sears, 1810–76.

IT came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From Angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
‘Peace on the earth, good-will to men,
From heaven’s all-gracious King!’
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the Angels sing.
