ON THE BIRTH OF CHRIST; a Sacred Ode.                                   
Again I see with gladsome eyes,                                         
The happy morn's return arise                                           
Of our Redeemer's birth;                                                
On which the Prince of peace and love                                   
Left the resplendent courts above,                                      
To dwell with men on earth.                                             
. . . [1 verse]                                                         
What music Bethlehem fill'd thy plains,                                 
While thus in sweet celestial strains,                                  
The bards immortal sung;
