Excerpt from Eager Heart: A Christmas Mystery-Play

Prologue, an aged man, in black cap and gown, stands before ibe closed curtains, wbicb represent tbe doors to tbe Dwelling of eager heart: be speaks.

Lo! As Earth, her vigil keeping, Times the year with careful hand, So the watchful Soul, unsleeping, Marks her days by high command.

O'er the world to-night, the nations, Weary, lay their griefs aside, And with sweet and loud laudations Hold the Feast of Christmastide.

Eager Heart

A Christmas Mystery Play

Old Carol [sung by unseen choir]

God rest you, merry gentlemen!
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember, Christ our Saviour
Was born this holy day,
To save us all from woe and sin,
When we were gone astray.
O the tidings of comfort let us sing!

In Bethlehem in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger,
Upon that holy morn,
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn!
O the tidings of comfort let us sing!
