Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And whiter grows the foam, The small moon lightens more;  And as I turn me home,   My ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14247]]></link><description><![CDATA[And whiter grows the foam, The small moon lightens more;  And as I turn me home,   My shadow walks before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There come nought out of the sacke but what was there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49949]]></link><description><![CDATA[There come nought out of the sacke but what was there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No use thinking of the past for its gone, don't think of the future because it has to come, think ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59337]]></link><description><![CDATA[No use thinking of the past for its gone, don't think of the future because it has to come, think of the present because thats where you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In His will is our peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53764]]></link><description><![CDATA[In His will is our peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even lessthan you settled for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22126]]></link><description><![CDATA[The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even lessthan you settled for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got a simple rule about everybody.
