    It was the calm and silent night!
    Seven hundred years and fifty-three
    Had Rome been growing up to might
    And now was queen of land and sea.
    No sound was heard of clashing wars,
    Peace brooded o'er the hushed domain;
    Apollo, Pallas, Jove and Mars,
    Held undisturbed their ancient reign,
    In the solemn midnight,
    Centuries ago.

God rest ye, little children; let nothing you affright,
For Jesus Christ, your Saviour, was born this happy night;
Along the hills of Galilee the white flocks sleeping lay,
When Christ, the Child of Nazareth, was born on Christmas Day.

The moon is hid; the night is still;
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other in the mist.

Somehow, not only for Christmas but all the long year through, The joy that you give to others Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing Returns to you glad.

Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold, clear night made brilliant by a glorious star, the smell of incense, shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby, the incarnation of perfect love.
