[From Psalmyn Ghavid

A HYMN FOR CHRISTMAS DAY.

Choud as va bochillyn 'syn oie,
Freayll watch er nyn shioltane ;
Orroo ren ainle y Chiarn cheet neose,
Ren gloyr Yee moo soilshean.

"Ny gaw-jee aggle," dooyrt yn ainle
(Son atehinr mooar ve daue),
" Naightyn gerjoil dy voggey mooar
T'ayns diu as da sheelnaue.

" Diu, ayns ard-valley Ghavid hene,
Ta er ny ruggey jiu,
Saualtagh, Eh ta Creest y Chiarn,
As shoh vees cowrey diu

Yiow shiu yn oikan flaunyssagh
Ayns stable son e 'hie,
Dy-imlee kainlt ayns sailaghyn,
As ayns manjoor ny lhie."

Shoh rait, v'ayns tullogh sheshaght vooar
Dy ainlyn gial y Chiarn,
Ren brishey magh ayns kiauleeaght ard,
As myr shoh goaill arrane

"Ard ghloyr da Jee 'syn yrjey heose,
Shee er y thalloo neesht ;
Aigney miie Yee da slane sheelnarve,
Gur-voylley daue ayns Creest."
