Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65214]]></link><description><![CDATA[God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Luke the Evangelist   He who prays as he ought will endeavour to live as he prays. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Luke the Evangelist   He who prays as he ought will endeavour to live as he prays.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pirates could happen to anyone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pirates could happen to anyone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. -W.
