I	-
	-
The shepherds went their hasty way	K
And found the lowly stable shed	C
Where the Virgin Mother lay	K
And now they checked their eager tread	C
For to the Babe that at her bosom clung	L
A Mother's song the Virgin Mother sung	L
	-
II	-
	-
They told her how a glorious light	C
Streaming from a heavenly throng	M
Around them shone suspending night	C
While sweeter than a mother's song	M
Blest Angels heralded the Savior's birth	N
Glory to God on high and Peace on Earth	N
	-
III	-
	-
She listened to the tale divine	O
And closer still the Babe she pressed	C
And while she cried the Babe is mine	O
The milk rushed faster to her breast	C
Joy rose within her like a summer's morn	P
Peace Peace on Earth the Prince of Peace is born	P
	-
IV	-
	-
Thou Mother of the Prince of Peace	Q
Poor simple and of low estate	C
That strife should vanish battle cease	Q
O why should this thy soul elate	C
Sweet Music's loudest note the Poet's story	G
Didst thou ne'er love to hear of fame and glory	G
	-
V	G
	-
And is not War a youthful king	R
A stately Hero clad in mail	S
Beneath his footsteps laurels spring	R
Him Earth's majestic monarchs hail	S
Their friends their playmate and his bold bright eye	-
Compels the maiden's love confessing sigh	-
	-
VI	-
	-
Tell this in some more courtly scene	T
To maids and youths in robes of state	C
I am a woman poor and mean	T
And wherefore is my soul elate	C
War is a ruffian all with guilt defiled	C
That from the aged father's tears his child	C
	-
VII	-
	-
A murderous fiend by fiends adored	C
He kills the sire and starves the son	U
The husband kills and from her board	C
Steals all his widow's toil had won	U
Plunders God's world of beauty rends away	K
All safety from the night all comfort from the day	K
	-
VIII	-
	-
Then wisely is my soul elate	C
That strife should vanish battle cease	Q
I'm poor and of low estate	C
The Mother of the Prince of Peace	Q
Joy rises in me like a summer's morn	P
Peace Peace on Earth The Prince of Peace is born	P
