<!-- The bells of Christmas chime once more -->
|
|
<p>The happy Christmas comes once more,<br>
|
|
The heavenly Guest is at the door,<br>
|
|
The blessèd words the shepherds thrill,<br>
|
|
The joyous tidings, “Peace, good will.”</p>
|
|
<p>O let us go with quiet mind,<br>
|
|
The gentle Babe with shepherds find,<br>
|
|
To gaze on Him Who gladdens them,<br>
|
|
The loveliest flower of Jesse’s stem.</p>
|
|
<p>The lowly Savior meekly lies,<br>
|
|
Laid off the splendor of the skies;<br>
|
|
No crown bedecks His forehead fair,<br>
|
|
No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there.</p>
|
|
<p>O wake, our hearts, in gladness sing,<br>
|
|
And keep our Christmas with our King,<br>
|
|
Till living song, from loving souls,<br>
|
|
Like sound of mighty water rolls.</p>
|
|
<p>O holy Child, Thy manger gleams<br>
|
|
Till earth and heaven glow with its beams,<br>
|
|
Till midnight noon’s broad light hath won,<br>
|
|
And Jacob’s star outshines the sun.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou patriarchs’ joy, Thou prophets’ song,<br>
|
|
Thou heavenly Dayspring, looked for long,<br>
|
|
Thou Son of Man, incarnate Word,<br>
|
|
Great David’s Son, great David’s Lord.</p>
|
|
<p>Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest,<br>
|
|
Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast,<br>
|
|
Then David’s harp strings, hushed so long,<br>
|
|
Shall swell our jubilee of song.</p>
