|
|
<p>God from on high hath heard;<br>
|
|
Let sighs and sorrows cease;<br>
|
|
Lo! from the opening Heav’n descends<br>
|
|
To man the promised Peace.</p>
|
|
<p>Hark! through the silent night<br>
|
|
Angelic voices swell;<br>
|
|
Their joyful songs proclaim that “God<br>
|
|
Is born on earth to dwell.”</p>
|
|
<p>See how the shepherd band<br>
|
|
Speed on with eager feet;<br>
|
|
Come to the hallowed cave with them<br>
|
|
The Holy Babe to greet.</p>
|
|
<p>But, oh, what sight appears<br>
|
|
Within that lowly door!<br>
|
|
A manger, stall, and swaddling clothes,<br>
|
|
A Child and mother poor!</p>
|
|
<p>Art Thou the Christ? the Son?<br>
|
|
The Father’s image bright?<br>
|
|
And see we Him Whose arm upholds<br>
|
|
Earth and the starry height?</p>
|
|
<p>Yea, faith can pierce the cloud<br>
|
|
Which veils Thy glory now;<br>
|
|
We hail Thee, God, before Whose throne<br>
|
|
The angels prostrate bow.</p>
|
|
<p>A silent Teacher, Lord,<br>
|
|
Thou bidd’st us not refuse<br>
|
|
To bear what flesh would have us shun,<br>
|
|
To shun what flesh would choose.</p>
|
|
<p>Our sinful pride to cure<br>
|
|
With that pure love of Thine,<br>
|
|
O be Thou born within our hearts,<br>
|
|
Most Holy Child divine.</p>
