THE STORY TOLD.
Hundreds of years were over
Adam and Eve had died,
The following generation,
And many more beside.
At last, some shepherds watching
Beside their flocks, at night,
Were startled in the darkness
By strange and heavenly Light.
One of the holy angels
Had come from Heaven above,
To tell the true, true Story,
Of Jesus and His Love.
He came to bring "glad tidings:"
"You need not, must not, fear;
For Christ, your new-born Saviour,
Lies in the village near!"
