It Came Upon a Midnight Clear…..

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong.

And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring
O hush the noise, ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing!

Edmund Sears, 1849

Have a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year!
