DDARK falls the night, withheld the day,Weary we fare perplexed and chill,Led by one little guiding rayShining from centuries far away,—Good-will and Peace: Peace and Good-will.The torch of glory pales and wanes,The lamp of love must know decease,But still o’er far Judæan plainsThe quenchless star-beam lives and reigns,—Peace and Good-will: Good-will and Peace.And clear to-day as long agoThe angel-chorus echoes still,Above the clamor and the throeOf human passion, human woe,—Good-will and Peace: Peace and Good-will.Through eighteen hundred stormy yearsThe dear notes ring, and will not cease;And past all mists of mortal tearsThe guiding star rebukes our fears,—Peace and Good-will: Good-will and Peace.Shine, blessed star, the night is black,Shine, and the heavens with radiance fill,While on thy slender, guiding trackThe angel voices echo back,—Good-will and Peace: Peace and Good-will.
