The fairest kingdom of the sun.

Star on the bosom of the West,

My dim eyes follow thee afar.

Chime on, chime on, O Christmas bells!

Shine on, shine on, O golden Star!

IV.

“What rapture! hear the sweet choirs sing,

While death’s cold shadows o’er me fall,

Beneath the lilies of my King—

Go, light the lamps in yonder hall.
