Christmas Eve.
The LORD at first did A dam make, Out of the dust and clay;
And in his nostrils breath- ed life, As Holy Scriptures say;
And then in E- den's Pa ra- dise He placed him there to
dwell,
That he with- in it should remain, To dress and keep it well.

He said His Own dear SON should come, The SAVIOUR of us all.

Bethlehem, King David's city,
Was His Birthplace, as we find ,Who GoD and MAN endued with pity Was the SAVIOUR of mankind;-- Yet Jewry land with cruel hand, Both first and last His power envied; When He was born, they did Him scorn, And showed Him malice when He died.
—
Princely Palace for our SAVIOUR
In Judea was not found, But blessed Mary's meek behaviour
Patiently upon the ground
Her BABE did place in vile disgrace, Where oxen in their stalls did feed; No midwife mild had this sweet CHILD, No woman's help at Mother's need.

Now to Him That hath redeemed us By His. Death on Holy Rood, And though poor sinners so esteemed us, That He bought us with His Blood, Yield lasting fame, that still the Name Of JESUS may be honoured here; And let us say that Christmas Day Is still the best Day in the year.
M
Kingly robes nor golden treasure Decked the Birthday of GOD's SON, No pompous train at all took pleasure To this KING of kings to run No mantle brave could JESUS have Upon His cradle for to lie;
Nor music's charms in nurse's arms To sing the BABE a lullaby.
Yet as Mary sat in solace
By our SAVIOUR's first beginning, The Hosts of Angels from GOD's Palace
Sounded sweet from Heaven singing; Yea, Heaven and earth for JESUS' Birth, With sweet melodious tunes abound. And everything for Jewry's KING, Upon the earth gave cheerful sound.
An excellent effect is produced by singing the last line of the last verse entirely in the major mode. It simply requires substituting for where an A or D occurs in all the parts.

In the nave each space is speaking Of the light which JESUS brought, Of the freedom and the glory
Which for all the world He wrought, Wherefore, O ye congregation,
Should your hearts be cold and dumb, While the walls proclaim Salvation, And," Arise, thy LIGHT is come."

" Be not afraid when hearing the Choirs Seraphic sing;
This Night shall be the Birthtide of CHRIST the Heavenly KING:'
He neither shall in housen be born, nor yet in hall;
Nor bed, nor downy pillow, but in an oxen stall.
" He neither shall be clothed in purple nor in pall,
But in the fair white linen that usen babies all.
He neither shall be rocked in silver nor in gold;
But in a wooden Manger, that resteth on the mould."
As Joseph was a walking, thus did an Angel sing;
At night the Mother- maiden gave birth to CHRIST our KING.
The Blessed Virgin wrapped Him from nightly winds, so wild;
The lowly Manger held Him Her wondrous Holy CHILD.
And marshalled on the mountain, the Angels raise their Song;
The Shepherds hear the story in anthems clear and strong.
The Herald- hymn obeying, nor loth, nor yet afraid,
They seek the lowly dwelling, and there the CHILD is laid!
Then be ye glad, good people, this Night of all the year;
And light ye up your candles, His Star it
shineth near.
And all in earth and Heaven, our Christmas Carol sing:Goodwill, and Peace, and Glory! and all the bells shall ring.

Then to the watchful Shepherds it was told, Who heard the Angelic Herald's voice,
Behold,
I bring good Tidings of a SAVIOUR'S Birth
To you and all the nations of the earth; This Day hath GoD fulfilled His promised Word, This Day is born a SAVIOUR, CHRIST the LORD,"
He spake; and straightway the Celestial Choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang, And Heaven's whole orb with Alleluias rang; GOD's highest Glory was their Anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men Good- will.
To Bethlehem straight the enlightened Shepherds ras, To see the wonders GOD had wrought for man; Then to their flocks, still praising GOD, return, And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn; To all the joyful Tidings they proclaim, The first Apostles.of the SAVIOUR'S Name.
Oh! may we keep and ponder in our mind GOD's wondrous Love in saving lost mankind; Trace we the BABE, Who hath retrieved our loss, From the poor Manger to the bitter Cross; Tread in His steps, assisted by His Grace, Till man's first Heavenly state again takes place

Then may we hope, the Angelic Hosts among, To join, redeemed, a glad triumphant Throng: He that was born upon this joyful Day Around us all His Glory shall display: Saved by His Love, incessant we shall sing Eternal praise to Heaven's ALMIGHTY KING.

For, found in humblest guise,
In Bethlehem's walls, of David's race, A mean, but Heaven- protected place, The Glorious INFANT lies."
When now the voice of soothing sound Has ceased, and silence reigns around; Fresh on the listening ear,
Breaks forth a new and rapturous song, And suddenly a shining ThrongThe Angelic Choirs appear!

Thy body rest in slumber, child, Thy soul be free from sin! Thy Angel near and undefiled, Breathes all pure thoughts within. The holy Christmas Tide is nigh,
The Season of CHRIST'S Birth; All Glory be to GoD on High, And Peace to men on earth!
" For I and all the Heavenly Host Were keeping watch of old, And saw the Shepherds at their post, And all the sheep in fold. Then told we with a joyful cry,
The Tidings of CHRIST's Birth; All Glory be to GOD on High, And Peace to men on earth!
" He bowed to all His FATHER'S Will, The Lowly and the Meek;
And year by year His Thoughts were still,
Lost sinners for to seek.
He did not come to strive nor cry, But ever from His Birth
Gave Glory unto GOD on High,
And Peace to men on earth.

el
A CHILD is born Who shall conquer the foc, And all the spirits of wickedness quell: For Mary's SoN is the Mighty ONE Whom the Prophets of GoD foretell.
The stars of heaven still shine as at first They gleamed on this wonderful night; The bells of the City of GOD peal out, And the Angels' song still rings in the height;
And love still turns where the GODHEAD burns, Veiled in Flesh from fleshly sight.
Faith sees no longer the stable floor,
The pavement of sapphire is there;
The clear light of Heaven streams out to the world;
And Angels of GOD are crowding the air;
And Heav'n and earth, through the Spotless Birth,
Are at peace on this night so fair.
Verses 2, 3, and 5 begin on the second chord, i.e. at the beginning of the bar. Monosyllables in italics should be sung to two notes, and dissyllables to one note or two notes slurred. See Treble part, Edition E or F.

Lo! the King of Angels bendeth, Comes and steps below their choirs, Down the ten degrees the shadow

Lo! the Highest is made lowest,
Lo! the Almighty is made weak: Lo! the Light of lights, in darkness, Shepherds in a stable seek. Lo! the King becomes the subject: Lo! the One Eternal- born! Lo! Creation's Source- a creature! And the Honoured suffers scorn.
Lo! the Sun, to earth declining, Of his golden rays is shorn.
Wherefore is the High debased? But that we may lifted be; Wherefore comes the Sun among us? But that blinded eyes may see. Wherefore is the King made subject? But that we through Him may reign; Wherefore shines the Light in darkness? But to illumine man again,
Who so long had crouched imprisoned, Bound by Satan's cruel chain.

He came down to earth from Heaven, Who is GOD and LORD of all, And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our SAVIOUR holy.
And through all His wondrous Childhood, He would honour and obey, Love and watch the lowly Maiden, In whose gentle arms He lay;
Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good, as He.
For He is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew, He was little, weak, and helpless, Fears and smiles like us He knew, And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness.
And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love, For that CHILD, so dear and gentle, Is our LORD in Heaven above; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone.
Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in Heaven, Set at GOD's right Hand on High;
When like stars His children crowned, All in white, shall wait around.

Twas in the days when far and wide Men owned the Cæsar's sway, That his decree went forth, that all A certain tax should pay.
Then from their home in Nazareth's vale.
Obedient to the same,
With Mary, his espoused wife, The saintly Joseph came.
A stable and a manger, where The oxen lowed around,
Was all the shelter Bethlehem gave, The welcome that they found!
Yet blessed among women was That holy mother- maid,
Who on that night her First- born SON There in the manger laid.
The KING of kings, and LORD of lords, E'en from His very Birth,
Had not a place to lay His Head, An outcast in the earth:
And yet we know that little Babe
Was tender to the touch,
And weak as other infants are; He felt the cold as much!
In swaddling bands she wrapped Him round, And smoothed His couch of straw, While unseen Angels watched beside, In mute, adoring awe.
How softly did they fold their wings Beneath that star- lit shed, While eastern Sages from afar The new- born radiance led!
And thus it is, from age to age, That as this night comes round, So sweetly, underneath the moon, The Christmas carols sound. Because to us a CHILD is born, Our BROTHER, and our KING, Angels in Heaven, and we on earth, Our joyful anthems sing.

In lowly stable is His throne,

The welcome snow at Christmas- tyde Falls shining from the skies:
On village paths and uplands wide All holy- white it lies;
It crowns with pearl the oaks and pines, And glitters on the thorn;
But purer is the Light that shines On gladsome Christmas morn.
At Christmas- tyde the gracious moon Keeps vigil while we sleep,
And sheds abroad her light's sweet boon, On vale and mountain- steep:
O'er all the slumbering land descends Her radiancy unshorn;
But brighter is the Light, good friends, That shines on Christmas morn.
' Twas when the world was waxing old, And night on Bethlehem lay, The Shepherds saw the heavens unfold A light beyond the day; Such glory ne'er had visited
A world with sin outworn;
But yet more glorious Light is shed On happy Christmas morn.
Those shepherds poor, how blest were they The Angels' song to hear!
In manger cradle as He lay,
To greet their LORD so dear!
The LORD of Heaven's Eternal height For us a CHILD was born; And He, the very Light of Light, Shone forth that Christmas morn!
Before His Infant smile afar,
Were driven the hosts of hell; And still in souls that Childlike are His guardian Love shall dwell: O then rejoice, good Christian men, Nor be of heart forlorn; December's darkness brings again The Light of Christmas morn.

O what joys extatic,
Thrilled each heart, from far When, to guide their footsteps, Gleamed that Beacon Star, O'er that home so holy Pouring down its ray, In His mother's bosom Where the INFANT lay!
There no ivory glistens, Glows no regal gold, Nor doth gorgeous purple Those fair limbs enfold; But His Court He keepeth In a stable bare, His Throne is a manger Rags His purple are.
Costly pomps and pageants Earthly kings array; He, a mightier Monarch, Hath a nobler sway; Straw though be His pallet, Mean His garb may be, Yet with power transcendent He all hearts can free!
At His crib they worship
Prostrate on the floor; And a GoD, there present, In that BABE adore; Let us to that INFANT
We, their offspring true. Hearts, with faith o'erflowing Give, our tribute due.
Holiest Love presenting
As gold, to our KING; To the Man pure bodies, Myrrh- like, chastely bring, Unto Him, as Incense,
Vow and prayer address; So with offerings meetest, This our GOD confess!
Glory to the FATHER, Fount of Light alone; Who unto the Gentiles Made His Glory known, Equal praise and merit
Blessed SON, to Thee; And to Thee, sweet SPIRIT. Evermore shall be!

When, the sad night air de spite, Met three kings to

ther,
gether.
One was old, with snow- white hair, One the prime of man- hood bare,
And the third, a youth, stood there With them on the heather

Looking for the promised KING,
Who, in Eastern quarters, Soon should spring to life, to rule O'er earth's sons and daughters, Them this eve, while rapt in sleep, One had roused in accents deep, " Haste ye; watch ye; vigil keep By Euphrates' waters!
77
Up they spring, and quickly hie, Each his pathway bending, Through the night- born mist and gloom,
O'er the earth depending. How the world in darkness lay, Till the DAY- STAR shed Its ray, Nature thus would fain display;-- Mystic emblems lending.
Then the kings with solemn gaze Looked on high beholding; For the marvel yet to come, Heav'n their spirits moulding, When behold, with silent awe, Suddenly the clouds they saw Like a darkened veil withdraw, Wonders more unfolding.
In a trice a star shone forth,
O! so brightly shining!Nearer, nearer yet it came,
Still towards earth inclining! And' twas shaped- O! wondrous s. Like a Child enthroned in light, Crowned, and with a sceptre bright, Victor- cross combining!*
Then again the moon her rays O'er the earth was streaming; Mist and darkness fled apace,
Stars with light were beaming. But yet kneeling' neath the sky, Still the Magi gazed on high, As though rapt in ecstacy, Or entrancèd dreaming!
Then one cried," Behold the Star Of which Seers have spoken, Beaming on the lands afar,
And of life the token! Haste we, brothers! let us speed; See, it moves! It comes to lead To the CHRIST, of Judah's seed Born of line unbroken!"
Up they rise, and bend their way, Toil nor labour sparing, Over mountain, hill, and plain, Costly treasures bearing.So do ye your off'rings make, Fear no pain for JESUS' Sake, Ever strive Heaven's road to take, For your LORD preparing!
" An allusion to a legend, preserved in an ancient Commentary on S. Matthew, that the Star, on ts first appearance to the Magi, had the form of a radiant child, bearing a sceptre or cross.

Gather, Christian, blossoms gay, Gather fruit this gladsome day; All bright flowers, my gentle bride, On Mount Carmel's sunny side, Serve for thine adorning well, Mystic lessons while they tell.
Gather first the sunflower bright, Turning ever to the light;
Stock and wall- flower sweet, that fling On the breeze their offering; Gather lilies, stainless, pure, Everlastings that endure.
Cull the woodbine that entwines, Tulips gay in flaming lines, Pansies blue, and primrose pale; Gather violets without fail, That beneath the leafage hide, On Mount Carmel's sunny side.
Carmel's garden, oh, how fair! Countless flowers are blooming there, Flowers of varied odour blow, Flowers of every lustre glow; Lo! the garden we have trod Surely is the Church of GOD.
Here the doctors stand and gaze, Clear- eyed on the solar blaze; Here the hermits from their rock Waft their virtues like the stock Virgins are the lily white, Martyrs' wounds the tulip bright
Humble souls are violets blue, Wet with penitential dew; Meekness like a primrose lies, Constancy nor fades nor dies; Broken hearts by heaven dyed, Are pansies peaceful, satisfied.
Clinging spirits, that entwine Round the cross, are eglantine; Here, from out monastic cell, Shakes the Canterbury bell; Prelates here, a gallant flock, Blaze as stately hollyhock.
There's a fountain, limpid, clean, Waters Carmel's garden green, Never failing, year by year, Opened by the soldier's spear. Once he smote the living Rock, Forth it spouted at the shock.

We plead for the fallen, Thy mercy we seek,
For those who have left Thee, fainthearted and weak, O give us more patience, more hope and more faith, To hold fast Thy promise through sorrow and death.
By Thy blessed descending, Thy glorious birth, Thy sorrows and sufferings, Thy life upon earth, By Thy parting words spoken, Thy last awful sigh, By Thy bright resurrection, Thy dwelling on high;
We pray Thee to hear us, to pardon and save, And for our soul's cleansing to trouble the wave. Thy Church is in sorrow, in danger and fearO stretch forth Thy hand, for the breakers are near.
Once more send the message the shepherds heard them Be peace on the earth, and good will unto men. May a new star shine o'er us, a new life begin, A new era dawning from sorrow and sin.
Poor, sinful, and weak, with no power of our owr., We trust in Thy mercy, in Thee, Thee alone, We ever confide in Thy wonderful love, That brought Thee to suffer, from glory above.
We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we glorify Thea We praise the Eternal, the glorious THREE; While Angels announce the Immaculate Birth, O hear our weak praises, the voices of earth.

No purple here is seen, no pomp of splendour,
Rude swaddling bands enfold each sacred Limb,
Yet shepherds kneel, their silent praise to render,
And Seraphs wondering, chant their carolhymn.
The gentle stars in solemn courses wending, Throw their soft lustre o'er the mangershed,
With JESUS' sleeping smile their radiance blending,
Till one bright halo circles round His Head,
4. Angels with folded wing, and breath abated,
Gaze tremblingly upon that Little ONE, Muse on their GOD's Great Glory Incarnated, And worship JESUS, GOD and Mary's Son.
5. Earth does not heed, though Heaven itself rejoices,
While myriads swell the' Gloria' sung on High,
No echo can they find' mid earthly voices, Save Mary, singing her sweet lullaby;--
6. Mary, and those who love with her to ponder
On mysteries half- seen, yet half- concealed, Longing to know- yet willing still to wonder, Waiting in faith, till all shall be revealed.
Such souls alone can contemplate the Glory, Which, darkling, breaks upon their eager sight,
True hearts which own the Incarnation story, Need ask no greater sign,-no clearer light.
They muse in Faith,-and He in Mercy shineth,
They gaze in silence, and the darkness flies;
" EMMANUEL" on Mary's heart reclineth,
He sleeps, He wakes,-Behold the DayStar rise!
When, as in verses 4, 5 and 6, the first syllable is accented, the first crotchet should be omitted, and the voices come in or the first beat of the bar. A little care in the division of syllables will make every line run smoothly,

Light, upon that darkened mind, Set Saul free, who came to bind: Light of more than earthly day, Light beyond the noon- tide ray. Though thine eyes are sealed in gloom, See, for thy Light too is come.
Lightened by that heavenly glare, Spirit- taught in vision rare Things unknown to mortal view, Paul now builds, what Saul o'erthrew. Chastened zeal and humbled pride Bow before the CRUCIFIED.

An Epiphany of Thee, Showing, by Thy Holy Rood, Grace triumphant, sin subdued.
Oh! if, in these latter days, Darkened faith and languid praise, Counting zeal a foolish thing, Cause a costless offering; Flash across our perilous night; " In Thy Light, shall we see Light."
And if strife, engendering strife, Tear and soil our better life; JESU, LORD, Thy SPIRIT send, Zeal with Charity to blend. When loved error clouds the sight, Speak the word," Let there be Light.

EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.
" We cannot praise this book too highly, nor wish that it may be too widely known. If we look at its outside, it is a most elegant book, bound in a handsome binding designed by Mr. Butterfield, and most suitable for a present at the great Christian Festival to which we are already beginning to look forward. And the printing, paper, and general get- up of the book agree with the chaste beauty of its exterior. But the chief reason why we wish to commend this volume to the notice of our readers is because of the immense good which may be done by the introducing of carol- singing into our churches and our homes. As Mr. Baring- Gould writes in his most valuable Introduction: Perhaps there is as great a need nowadays of impressing the great doctrine of the Incarnation on the popular mind as in the days of the great regenerator, St. Francis of Assissi, who was' the father of carols and carol- singing.' In his day, Manicheeism was making terrible ravages among Christian people; multitudes were losing their faith in, or denying altogether, the Incarnation of Our Lord, which is the keystone of Christianity; and it was a great inspiration which moved St. Francis to ask the Pope's permission to have in the churches representations of the Holy Nativity, and to sing hymns in the vernacular to the Divine Christ Child. And in our own day, just such a need as this still exists. We have to enforce this doctrine by every means in our power, and it is a grievous mistake to think that the only means available is to preach sermons on the subject. The country- people, at least, need something more, and, as Mr. Baring- Gould suggests, if we could not have the præsepio of St. Francis in our Churches, we could have it in our schools; and we could also sing his carols both there and in the Churches. Such a plan was carried out, we believe, by that noble Churchman, Charles Lowder, when he was Vicar of St. Peter's, London Docks. We think that Mr. Chope, the editor of this volume, makes a wise suggestion when he tells us the line which he has himself pursued in his well- known Church of St. Augustine, Queen's Gate. Since 1868, the book of Carols has been used instead of the hymn- book during the whole of the Christmas and Epiphany seasons; and he adds, it is always to us- congregation, choir, and clergy- the very beginning of Lent to lay aside our popular, much- loved carols." Psalms and Hymns" though appropriate at all other times of joy or sadness, are not the" spiritual songs" best suited to express our" great joy" for the" good tidings" of the Saviour's Birth and Manifestation to the Gentiles. The Carol belongs especially to this dispensation. It was introduced by the angel when he announced the first Christmas, and the Carol has continued the" Evangelical Song ever since. The variety in the editions of this book makes its popular use exceedingly easy. Besides the beautiful edition for presentation, published at 78. 6d., Mr. Chope has also published another musical edition, in cloth for 4s., and the treble part in paper covers for 1s. There are also several editions of the words only. One is a beautiful little volume, bound in cloth gilt with a special design, and illustrated with copious woodcuts

which costs only 1s. 6d.; another is prettily got up for 1s.; a third for 6d., and a fourth for 1d. No one, therefore, need be without a copy, even in the poorest parish, and we would suggest to clergy and Churchworkers the advisability of giving away these editions, either instead of Christmas cards, or as little reminders to the people of the services of Christmas Day. The editor, Mr. Chope, will also make grants of carols -music or words- to parishes where such joyful services are about to be introduced. Of the carols themselves, we need say but little. The names at the beginning of our notice are a sufficient guarantee that both words and music are of the highest order. The carols number 112, and are from both ancient and modern sources. The old traditional favourites, such as" The First Noel' and' The moon shone bright,' are, of course, inserted; and there is also a rich abundance from the pens of such writers as Dr. Irons, S. Baring- Gould, W. Chatterton Dix, G. P. Grantham, R. F. Smith, George Wither, Dr. Bright, E. Caswall, Bishops Coxe, Heber, and Wordsworth; and Mr. Chope, the editor. There are also several old Cornish carols, which will be especially welcome to the many Cornishmen who are scattered all over England. We are also glad that this volume contains carols for the Epiphany, the Conversion of St. Paul, and the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary; so that our carol books may be used in church instead of hymn books until Candlemas, when it is customary to remove the Christmas decorations. We trust that several churches in Hastings and St. Leonards will adopt Mr. Chope's admirable book, and so make Christmas more and more a feast of great joy, and a worthy commemoration of the Mystery of the Holy Incarnation."- Hastings and St. Leonards News, Nov. 10, 1882.
DOLLAR: S. JAMES's.- The great feature, however, of the Christmas A few services this year has been the fuller introduction of carols. were sung last year, but the copies being comparatively few, were limited almost entirely to the choir. Notwithstanding this, they were so much appreciated that the Incumbent decided on introducing this year" CHOPE'S BOOK OF CAROLS FOR USE IN CHURCH." The effect of this has been to add an element of religious gladness to the services which has been welcomed by all. Before Christmas the incumbent addressed the congregation saying what he purposed doing, and expressing an earnest hope that it would not only add to the brightness of Christmas, but that through the use of these carols many truths would be brought home to their hearts, and the mystery of the Incarnation be more fully realised. The exceeding beauty of some of these carols, both as to words and music, can scarcely be overstated, and the way in which they rang through the church proved how welcome they were. Indeed all the copies which had been first got, and which it was thought would be sufficient, were exhausted at once, and a fresh supply had to be sent for. It is to be hoped that many other churches in Scotland will use this book next Christmas.- Scottish Guardian, diolo January 12, 1883.
