Hush, all ye sounds of war, ye nations all be still,
A voice of heav’nly joy steals over vale and hill,
O hear the angels sing the captive world’s release,
For now is born in Bethlehem the Prince of Peace.
No more divided be, fear be discarded then,
Old enmity forget, old friendship knit again,
In this new year of God let kindred love increase,
For now is born in Bethlehem the Prince of Peace.
Anonymous, William H. Draper, 20h cent.; alt.

Eight Years Ago: Bessie Porter Head
Seven Years Ago: O God, by whom all change is wrought
Seven Years Ago: Mists and clouds and shadows
Six Years Ago: Another year is dawning
Five Years Ago: O God, whom neither time nor space
Four Years Ago: New mercies, new blessings, new light on our way
One Year Ago: Deck the halls with boughs of holly
