Hymn Context Compare
When we mourn the lost, the dear,
As white as lily-flow­er;
Spurns all bounds, and breaks con­trol;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
start
God re­ward thee and all that’s thine
To her con­quer­ing Li­on bring.
Sleep, my Sav­ior, sleep
God chose you, you are blest!
So bright they al­most seem to speak
Mary doth the Sav­ior bear;
Venite ado­re­mus Do­mi­num;
As by the pro­phet said it was,
His wings as drift­ed snow, his eyes as flame;
Eya! full fain they are
In Jew­ry it was
An old man was he;
The Cæ­sar’s high be­hest;
The Babe, the Son,
The rose I have in mind;

Ma­ry

Thou our throb­bing flesh hast worn,
To be our sweet Sav­ior.
In Thy cleft­ed, riv­en side.
Why lies He in such mean es­tate,
Of Jo­seph of Ari­ma­thee,
He came among us at Christ­mas­tide,
Let our than­kful­ness as­cend­ing
Now the shep­herds kneel ador­ing,
To hear the an­gel’s word.
How faint and fee­ble is Thy cry,
These good news an an­gel told
Of ho­ly Anne,
Salvator mun­di na­tus est.
Most high­ly fa­vored la­dy, Glo­ria!
Away then ban­ish sor­row;
Together did pass,
The queen of Ga­li­lee.
Her own, her an­cient song;
He is born to set us free,
The vir­gin mo­ther kind.
