|
<p>Behold the great Creator makes<br>
|
|
Himself a house of clay,<br>
|
|
A robe of virgin flesh He takes<br>
|
|
Which He will wear for ay.</p>
|
|
<p>Hark, hark, the wise eternal Word,<br>
|
|
Like a weak infant cries!<br>
|
|
In form of servant is the Lord,<br>
|
|
And God in cradles lies.</p>
|
|
<p>This wonder struck the world amazed,<br>
|
|
It shook the starry frame;<br>
|
|
Squadrons of spirits stood and gazed,<br>
|
|
Then down in troops they came.</p>
|
|
<p>Glad shepherds ran to view this sight;<br>
|
|
A choir of angels sings,<br>
|
|
And eastern sages with delight<br>
|
|
Adore this King of kings.</p>
|
|
<p>Join then, all hearts that are not stone,<br>
|
|
And all our voices prove,<br>
|
|
To celebrate this holy One<br>
|
|
The God of peace and love.</p>
