# Christmas in Heaven
<!-- page:204 -->

Christmas in Heaven I dreamed that I stood in the hush of night And gazed at a silver star, Drifting in glory before ray sight To a gate that stood ajar. I saw through the portal a mighty throng Of earth-freed spirits singing; O grand the song — I listened long To the voice of angels ringing — Ringing down through the spangled spheres, "Glory to Jesus who dries our tears, The Son to whom all power is given — Jesus, the King of Earth and Heaven." Lethbridge, Canada Frank C. Steele
