 ebri$ttnd$ in the Sanctudry

 1897. 
 
Tis winter, but to faithful hearts 'tis spring; 
 
 And truly God, as longer grow the days 
 
 And stronger the sun's beims, casts His bright rays 
 
 Upon His Church's swiftly dawning year, 
 
 To bid us forth from Advent gloom and fear 
 
 And lift our hearts to Him and joyful sing. 
 
 Our happy souls mid vernal musings dwell, 
 And all responsive, buds and blossoms bright, 
 Of lovely forms and varied hues, mid light 
 From countless flames, round cross and altar meet 
 The wistful eye, through vei' of incense sweet; 
 While, from the organ, chords melodious swell. 
 
 bless'd fulfilment of the prayers and dreams 
 Of men of old, when, in the silent night. 
 The shepherds heard the voice of angel bright ; 
 And hast'ning saw the Shepherd born to lead 
 His docile sheep to pastures green to feed, 
 In certain safety, by the quiet streams. 
 
 But lo! the myst'ries from their eyes concealed 
 The simple, wond'ring shepherds but a child 
 Beheld; nor knew that He, Who lay and smiled 
 So sweet, was Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, King. 
 And Spotless Lamb for the world's ransoming 
 Ere long, by desert seer, to be revealed. 
 
well may littla children eager make 
 
 This blissful day their own: O may they learn. 
 
 Who early towards the Blessed Infant turn. 
 
 To imitate His gentle, gracious charms: 
 
 What joy to those uplifted by His arms 
 
 In age, who still are children for His sake. 
 
 What those poor shepherds saw, we seem to see; 
 The queen-like, calm-eyed, virgin-mother pure; 
 Her spouse, once justly questioning, now sure 
 Of all the angel told; and Him Whose birth 
 Brought mercy from high heav'n to sinful earth ; 
 The holiest type of happy family. 
 
 And well may we before God's altar bring. 
 With our memorial of Christ's natal day. 
 Prayers for our kin and dear ones far away; 
 Yea, e'en for those, unseen, who waiting rest 
 Expectant of His promise to the blest. 
 When partings dread will cease and sorrowing. 
 
 But all in vain we gather for the feast. 
 
 If we. though freely fed, omit to feed 
 
 The hungry, or supply the pressing need 
 
 Of those who thirst, or far from kindred dwell. 
 
 Or are unclad; or cheer, by cot. in cell, 
 
 Christ's pining brothers, even to the least. 
 
 O gracious God, Who did'st all-pitying give 
 Thy peace, beyond man's ken, by angels' song. 
 To all who for the heavenly gift should long; 
 Grant us this choicest blessing from above. 
 Our hearts and minds, in knowledge and in love 
 Of Thee, to keep; that we in Thee may live.
