WHOSO hears a chiming for Christmas at the nighest Hears a sound like Angels chanting in their glee, Hears a sound like palm boughs waving in the highest, Hears a sound like ripple of a crystal sea. Sweeter than a prayer-bell for a saint in dying, Sweeter than a death-bell for a saint at rest, Music struck in Heaven with earth's faint replying, 'Life is good, and death is good, for Christ is Best.' |
