Let all be swept and gar­nished there.

Beth­lehem

A host of an­gels from Heav­en sang,
Louder yet, and loud­er peal­ing,
He comes to doom, to di­adem.
Though it should know no oth­er guest,
Of David’s crown the fair­est gem,
The Sav­ior’s jour­ney lay;
Around the man­ger ga­ther­ing,
Has ar­rived the shep­herd King,
Far away across the sea,
And, pierc­ing through the gloom, afar
