A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THREE SHEPHERDS.

  1. 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?

  1. 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?

  1. 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.

Jeremy Taylor.
