And the angels ever echoed
Songs of happiness again,
And a voice from heaven answered
Peace on earth good will to men.
Still the star whirled in its orbit
Round the sun of heat and light,—
Saw the earth in years advancing—
Watched her in her rapid flight.
When we slumber peacefully,—
When we think not what is near,
Still the star’s light shineth ever
All its beams are bright and clear.
Thus forever, yet unceasing,—
Still it shineth as of yore,
And shall be a guide and helper
Through the ages evermore.
FINIS.
