<p>From east to west, from shore to shore,<br>
|
|
Let every heart awake and sing<br>
|
|
The holy Child Whom Mary bore,<br>
|
|
The Christ, the everlasting King.</p>
|
|
<p>Behold, the world’s Creator wears<br>
|
|
The form and fashion of a slave;<br>
|
|
Our very flesh our Maker shares,<br>
|
|
His fallen creature, man, to save.</p>
|
|
<p>For this how wondrously He wrought!<br>
|
|
A maiden, in her lowly place,<br>
|
|
Became, in ways beyond all thought,<br>
|
|
The chosen vessel of His grace.</p>
|
|
<p>She bowed her to the angel’s word<br>
|
|
Declaring what the Father willed,<br>
|
|
And suddenly the promised Lord<br>
|
|
That pure and hallowed temple filled.</p>
|
|
<p>He shrank not from the oxen’s stall,<br>
|
|
He lay within the manger bed,<br>
|
|
And He whose bounty feedeth all<br>
|
|
At Mary’s breast Himself was fed.</p>
|
|
<p>And while the angels in the sky<br>
|
|
Sang praise above the silent field,<br>
|
|
To shepherds poor the Lord Most High,<br>
|
|
The one great Shepherd, was revealed.</p>
|
|
<p>All glory for this blessèd morn<br>
|
|
To God the Father ever be;<br>
|
|
All praise to Thee, O virgin born,<br>
|
|
All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.</p>
