thy
guard.
Yet to read the shameful story,
How the Jews abused their King;

How they served the Lord of Glory,
Makes me angry while I sing.

See the kinder shepherds round Him,
Telling wonders from the sky!

Where they sought Him, there they found Him,
With His
Virgin-Mother by.
See the lovely Babe a-dressing:
Lovely Infant, how He smiled!

When He wept, His Mother's blessing
Sooth'd and hush'd the Holy
Child.
Lo, He slumbers in a manger,
Where the horned oxen fed!
Peace,
my darling, here's no danger;
There's no ox a-near thy bed.
'Twas to save thee, child, from dying,
Save my dear from burning
flame,
Bitter groans and endless crying,
That thy blest Redeemer
came.
May'st thou live to know and fear Him,
Trust and love Him all thy
days;
Then go dwell for ever near Him,
See His face, and sing His
praise!
I could give thee thousand kisses!
Hoping what I most desire;
Not a
mother's fondest wishes
Can to greater joys aspire!

L'ENVOI.
_Dear aged friends, and loved ones who have turned
Your faces
toward the glowing sunset sky,
While far below on paths that ye have
trod,
Life's mingled lights and shadows softly lie:
May Peace be
with you as you journey on
To reach the summit of life's shadowed
hill,
And tho' the way seem toilsome here and there,
May Hope and
Faith your hearts with courage fill.
Bear with you, as you go, our
grateful prayers
For your dear lives by heavenly mercy spared
So
long to us who love you, and with whom
Life's burdens, great or
small, your love hath shared.
The crimson glory of the sunset sky

Lies all about you, and falls gently down
Upon your dear, grey heads,
as tho' our Lord
Hath wished already His loved saints to crown.
Lift

up your tired eyes "Unto the hills
Whence cometh help," for lo! the
Father stands
To give you greeting, and to welcome you--
When
night brings rest--with tender, gracious hands._

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US unless
a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not keep eBooks in
compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance of the
official release dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be
encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, even years after the
official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of
the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official
release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at Midnight, Central
Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may
often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish
to do so.
Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net
or

http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is also a
good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the indexes our
cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an announcement goes
out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03
or

ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, as it
appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time
it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any
eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and
analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our projected audience is
one hundred million readers. If the value per text is nominally
estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour in
2002 as we release over 100 new text files per month: 1240 more
eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ We are already on our way to
trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 If they reach just 1-2% of the
world's population then the total will reach over half a trillion eBooks
given away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is
only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
