HYMN FOR CHRISTMAS-DAY; BEING A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THREE SHEPHERDS.
-
Where is this blessed babe
That hath made
All the world so full of joy
| |
And expectation;
That glorious boy
That crowns each nation |
| With a |
triumphant wreath of blessedness? |
-
Where should he be but in the throng,
And among
His angel ministers that sing
| |
And take wing |
| Just |
as may echo to his voice,
And rejoice, |
| When |
wing and tongue and all |
| May so procure their happiness? |
-
But he hath other waiters now:
A poor cow
An ox and mule stand and behold,
| |
And wonder |
| That a stable |
should enfold
Him that can thunder. |
Chorus. O what a gracious God have we!
How good? How great? Even as our misery.
