Holy night! Up on the housetop reindeer pause; Dashing through the snow How still we see thee lie; All is calm, all is bright; The Sounds of Christmas Out jumps good old Santa Claus, In a one-horse open sleigh, Above thy deep and dreamless sleep ‘Round yon virgin mother and Child, Down through the chimney with lots of toys, O’er the fields we go, The silent stars go by; Holy infant so tender and mild; All for the little ones’ Christmas joys. Laughing all the way. Yet in thy dark streets shineth Sleep in heavenly peace, 9. It Came Upon The Midnight Clear 10. O Come, All Ye Faithful Bells on bobtail ring, The everlasting Light; Sleep in heavenly peace.

What fun it is to ride and sing Are met in thee tonight. Silent night! Holy night! That glorious song of old, Joyful and triumphant, Ho, Ho, Ho, who wouldn’t go? A sleighing song tonight! Shepherds quake at the sight! From angels bending near the earth O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Up on the housetop, click, click, click, For Christ is born of Mary, Glories stream from heaven afar, Down through the chimney with good (Chorus) To touch their harps of gold: Come and behold Him, Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, And gathered all above, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia; “Peace on the earth, good will to men, Born the King of angels! Saint Nick. While mortals sleep, Christ, the Saviour is born, Jingle all the way; From heaven’s all-Gracious King!” Oh, what fun it is to ride The angels keep Christ, the Saviour, is born. The world in solemn stillness lay, (Chorus) First comes the stocking of little Nell; Their watch of wondering love. Oh, dear Santa, fill it well; In a one-horse open sleigh! To hear the angels sing. O come, let us adore Him, (Repeat) O morning stars, together Silent night! Holy night! O come, let us adore Him, Give her a dolly that laughs and cries, Proclaim the holy birth! Son of God, love’s pure light Still through the cloven skies they come, O come, let us adore Him, One that can open and shut its eyes. A day or two ago And praises sing to God the King, Radiant beams from thy holy face With peaceful wings unfurled, Christ the Lord! I thought I’d take a ride, And peace to men on earth! With the dawn of redeeming grace, And still their heavenly music floats (Chorus) And soon Miss Fannie Bright Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, O’er all the weary world; O sing, choirs of angels, Was seated by my side; Jesus Lord, at thy birth. Above its sad and lowly plains Sing in exultation! The horse was lean and lank, They bend on hovering wing, Sing all ye citizens of heaven above! Misfortune seemed his lot, And ever o’er its Babel-sounds Now to our God be He got into a drifted bank, The blessed angels sing Glory in the highest! And then, we got upsot. (Chorus) (Chorus) 15.

  • The Life Triumphant: Mastering the Heart and Mind by James Allen
    The Life Triumphant: Mastering the heart and mind By James Allen Contents 1. Foreword 2. Faith and Courage 3. Manliness, Womanliness and Sincerity 4. Energy and Power 5. Self-Control and Happiness 6. Simplicity and Freedom 7. Eight Thinking and Repose 8. Calmness and Resource 9. Insight and Nobility 10. Man the Master 11. Knowledge and Victory Foreword EVERY BEING LIVES in his own mental world. His joys and sorrows are the creations of his own mind, and are dependent upon the mind for their existence. In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live. This world can be found and entered, and the way to it is by self-control and moral excellence. It is the world of the perfect life, and it rightly belongs to man, who is not complete until crowned with perfection. The perfect life is not the faraway, impossible thing that men who are in darkness imagine it to be; it is supremely possible, and very near and real. Man remains a craving, weeping, sinning, repenting creature just so long as he wills to do so by clinging to those weak conditions. But when he wills to shake off his dark dreams and to rise, he arises and achieves. James Allen Hail to Thee, Man divine! the conqueror Of sin and shame and sorrow; no more weak, Wormlike, and groveling art thou; no, nor Wilt thou again bow down to things that weak Scourgings and death upon thee; thou dost rise Triumphant in thy strength; good, pure and wise.

Your story matters Citable link http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:38811527 Terms of Use This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository, and is made available under the terms and conditions applicable to Other Posted Material, as set forth at http:// nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:dash.current.terms-of- use#LAA Modeling Musical Influence Through Data Abstract Musical influence is a topic of interest and debate among critics, historians, and general listeners alike, yet to date there has been limited work done to tackle the subject in a quantitative way. In this thesis, we address the problem of modeling musical influence using a dataset of 143,625 audio files and a ground truth expert-curated network graph of artist-to-artist influence consisting of 16,704 artists scraped from AllMusic.com. We explore two audio content-based approaches to modeling influence: first, we take a topic modeling approach, specifically using the Document Influence Model (DIM) to infer artist-level influence on the evolution of musical topics. We find the artist influence measure derived from this model to correlate with the ground truth graph of artist influence. Second, we propose an approach for classifying artist-to-artist influence using siamese convolutional neural networks trained on mel-spectrogram representations of song audio. We find that this approach is promising, achieving an accuracy of 0.7 on a validation set, and we propose an algorithm using our trained siamese network model to rank influences.
