|
|
<p>A thousand years have come and gone, and near a thousand more,<br>
|
|
Since happier light from heaven shone than ever shone before:<br>
|
|
And in the hearts of old and young a joy most joyful stirred.<br>
|
|
That sent such news from tongue to tongue as ears had never heard.</p>
|
|
<p>Then angels on their starry way felt bliss unfelt before,<br>
|
|
For news that men should be as they to darkened earth they bore;<br>
|
|
So toiling men and spirits bright a first communion had,<br>
|
|
And in meek mercy’s rising light were each exceeding glad.</p>
|
|
<p>And we are glad, and we will sing, as in the days of yore;<br>
|
|
Come all, and hearts made ready bring, to welcome back once more<br>
|
|
The day when first on wintry earth a summer change began,<br>
|
|
And, dawning in a lowly birth uprose the Light of man.</p>
|
|
<p>For trouble such as men must bear from childhood to fourscore,<br>
|
|
He shared with us, that we might share His joy forevermore;<br>
|
|
And twice a thousand years of grief of conflict, and of sin,<br>
|
|
May tell how large the harvest sheaf His patient love shall win.</p>
