Show THERE CAME A LITTLE CHILD TO EARTH There came a little child to cart'i, Long ago; And tho ango;s of God proclnln ed his birth High and low. Out on the night so calm u'.id still, Their song was 'loin'. For they know that the child on I'cth-lehem's I'cth-lehem's Hill Was Christ, tho Lord. Far away In a goodly land, Fair and bright, Children with crowns of g'ory stand, Robed In white. Iti white moro pure than the spotless snow, And their tongues unite In the psalm which the angels sang long ago On Christmas night. They sing how tho Lord of that worlU so fair, A child was born; And that they might si crown of glory wear, Woro a crown of thorn. In mortal weakness, in want and pain Came forth to dlo, That tho children of earth might for over reign With him on high. Ho has put on his kingly apparel now, In that goodly land; And ho leads to where fountains of water ow, That chosen band. And forovermoro In tholr garments fair And undofllrd Thoso ransomed children hla praise dcclaro, Who was onco a child. Emily S. F.llloU. |
