HROUGH the blue and frosty heavens,
Christmas stars were shining bright;

Glistening lamps through the great City
Almost matched their gleaming light;
While the winter snow was lying,

And the winter winds were sighing,
Long ago, one Christmas night.

While from every tower and steeple,
Pealing bells were sounding clear,
(Never with such tones of gladness,
Save when Christmas time is near,)
Many a one that night was merry
Who had toiled through all the year.
