HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
'peace OH, &artk
v.
Softly the mother rested with the Babe upon her breast;
The pain and fear were over and her woman's hour was blest.
She saw no shadow of the cross upon each tender limb,
Her Babe was born in Bethlehem and mankind welcomed Him!
If tortured years were coming, they too would pass away,
The Son of Man would reign supreme as on His natal day.
That perfect faith of motherhood the old world lifted high,
It stands to-day a star of hope against a lurid sky
Oh, mothers of the world of men whose garments drip with blood,
Hope on! The hour is dawning, the full-tide of the flood.
1 he peace that came to Mary in the stable by the inn
Is stealing, silent footed, o'er a world pain racked with sin.
And the angel choirs of Heaven sing a new and joyous song
That peace on earth, so long denied, in men's hearts hath been born.
While the plains of Judea echo, all Creation lifts the cry
That the human race is waking to the message from on high!
