The Story Ever New.;". • Only an old, old story, Of infinite love and grace; . Only a beam of glory Lighting a baby face. But through the rolling ages, > No story half so dear; Of all earth's sunshine glory No >beams so bright and clear.

Only a manger lowly, Wherein the sweet child lay; Only a mother holy. Watching the hours away. Only a toweet song stealing Down through the quiet skies; Only a star's soft beaming, Points where the baby lies.
