THE LAST DREAM OF THE OLD OAK [3]
of a song from the ship- a song of Christmas joy, and of the
redemption of the soul of man, and of eternal life through Christ's
atoning blood.
"Sing aloud on the happy morn,
All is fulfilled, for Christ is born;
With songs of joy let us loudly sing,
'Hallelujahs to Christ our King.'"
Thus sounded the old Christmas carol, and every one on board the
ship felt his thoughts elevated, through the song and the prayer, even
as the old tree had felt lifted up in its last, its beautiful dream on
that Christmas morn.
THE END
