|
<p>Cradled in a manger, meanly,<br>
|
|
Laid the Son of Man His head;<br>
|
|
Sleeping His first earthly slumber<br>
|
|
Where the oxen had been fed.<br>
|
|
Happy were those shepherds listening<br>
|
|
To the holy angel’s word;<br>
|
|
Happy they within that stable<br>
|
|
Worshipping their infant Lord.</p>
|
|
<p>Happy all who hear the message<br>
|
|
Of His coming from above;<br>
|
|
Happier still who hail His coming,<br>
|
|
And with praises greet His love.<br>
|
|
Blessèd Savior, Christ most holy,<br>
|
|
In a manger Thou didst rest;<br>
|
|
Canst Thou stoop again, yet lower,<br>
|
|
And abide within my breast?</p>
|
|
<p>Evil things are there before Thee;<br>
|
|
In the heart, where they have fed,<br>
|
|
Wilt Thou pitifully enter,<br>
|
|
Son of Man, and lay Thy head?<br>
|
|
Enter, then, O Christ most holy;<br>
|
|
Make a Christmas in my heart;<br>
|
|
Make a heaven of my manger:<br>
|
|
It is heaven where Thou art.</p>
|
|
<p>And to those who never listened<br>
|
|
To the message of Thy birth,<br>
|
|
Who have winter, but no Christmas<br>
|
|
Bringing them Thy peace on earth,<br>
|
|
Send to these the joyful tidings;<br>
|
|
By all people, in each home,<br>
|
|
Be there heard the Christmas anthem;<br>
|
|
Praise to God, the Christ has come!</p>
