hen He wept, His Mother's blessing Sooth'd and hush'd the Holy Child. Lo, He slumbers in a manger, Where the horned oxen fed! Peace, my darling, here's no danger; There's no ox a-near thy bed. 'Twas to save thee, child, from dying, Save my dear from burning flame, Bitter groans and endless crying, That thy blest Redeemer came. May'st thou live to know and fear Him, Trust and love Him all thy days; Then go dwell for ever near Him, See His face, and sing His praise! I could give thee thousand kisses! Hoping what I most desire; Not a mother's fondest wishes Can to greater joys aspire! [Illustration] _L'ENVOI._ _Dear aged friends, and loved ones who have turned Your faces toward the glowing sunset sky, While far below on paths that ye have trod, Life's mingled lights and shadows softly lie: May Peace be with you as you journey on To reach the summit of life's shadowed hill, And tho' the way seem toilsome here and there, May Hope and Faith your hearts with courage fill. Bear with you, as you go, our grateful prayers For your dear lives by heavenly mercy spared So long to us who love you, and with whom Life's burdens, great or small, your love hath shared. The crimson glory of the sunset sky Lies all about you, and falls gently down Upon your dear, grey heads, as tho' our Lord Hath wished already His loved saints to crown. Lift up your tired eyes "Unto the hills Whence cometh help," for lo! the Father stands To give you greeting, and to welcome you-- When night brings rest--with tender, gracious hands._ M. D. B.
