CHRISTMAL CAROLS.
Only one Christmas-eve my fair-eyed darling
Lisped of dear Santa Claus her dreams among,
Only one Christmas morn, white-robed and joyful,—
Lifted her clear voice in a Christmas-song.
Lisped of dear Santa Claus her dreams among,
Only one Christmas morn, white-robed and joyful,—
Lifted her clear voice in a Christmas-song.
I see her little figure standing tiptoe,
To hang her dainty stocking on the wall;—
O sinless heart, O perfect faith of childhood,
Believing everything and trusting all!
To hang her dainty stocking on the wall;—
O sinless heart, O perfect faith of childhood,
Believing everything and trusting all!
Peace, aching heart! O, let me trust entirely,
With faith and strength that nothing can destroy,
That my sweet baby is among the angels
Who, on this Christmas morning, sing for joy!
With faith and strength that nothing can destroy,
That my sweet baby is among the angels
Who, on this Christmas morning, sing for joy!
