"On all thy trees, on every bough, Thousands of crystals sparkle now, Where'er our eyes alight;
Firm on the spotless robe we tread, Which o'er thy beauteous form is spread, With glittering hoar frost bright.
"Our Father kind, who dwells above, For thee this garment pure hath wove, He watches over thee;
Therefore in peace thy slumber take, Our Father will the weary wake,
New strength, new light to see."
