4C Brainerd Dispatch & Neighbors Friday, November 23, 2012 A Christmas Carol“What means this glory round our feet?”The Magi mused, “more bright than morn?”And voices chanted clear and sweet,“Today the Prince of Peace is born!”

“What means that star?” the shepherd said,“That brightens through the rocky glen?”And angels answering overhead,Sang, “Peace on earth, good will to men!”

‘Tis twenty hundred years and moreSince those sweet oracles were dumb;We wait for Him, like them of yore;Alas, He seems so slow to come!

But it was said, in words of gold.No time or sorrow e’er shall dim,

That little children might be boldIn perfect trust to come to Him.

All round about our feet shall shineA light like that the wise men saw,If we our loving wills inclineTo that sweet Life which is the Law.

So shall we learn to understandThe simple faith of shepherds then,And clasping kindly hand in hand,Sing, “Peace on earth, good will to men!”

And they who do their souls no wrong,But keep at eve the faith of morn,Shall daily hear the angel-song,“Today the Prince of Peace is born!”
