Remotest nations hear;

To welcome Judah’s rising star,

The ransomed tribes appear.

Again in Bethlehem swells the song,

The choral breaks again;

While Jordan’s shores the strains prolong,

“Good-will and peace to men!”

W. P. Tappan.

Redemption! O, thou beauteous mystic plan!

Thou salutary source of light to man!
