The original melody em loyed, as a Cantus flrmtt8, in the following is to be found tn an old German

book published in the year 570•— whlcb. from its title and contents, appears to have contained the ritual of the prot-
estant Congregationssoof ZweibrUckenand Neuburg. Even there it is called A very ancient gong ( ural.te.
for Christmas-eve;" that there can be no doubt that It is one of those old RomanCatholic melodies Which
Luther, on account of their beauty. retained in the Protestant service. It was formerly gung in tbe processions
wbicb took place on ChristmB8Eve. and ts 80 still in those remote parts of Germany people yet retain old
CUStoms. The words ar e written half in Latin and half in upper German dialect. I have nanslated them to•at the
music, and endeavored to preserve, 08 much as I could, the simplicity ot the original. R. L. DE YEABSALL
