All in help­less graves t’en­fold,
All their lus­ter slow­ly fail­ing,
Watched dark noc­tur­nal sha­dows pass,
Thou, Lord, hast heard their pray­er
Save one lit­tle manger up­on the cold ground,
Only a touch of the tre­mu­lous hand,
Enwrapped His beau­ty round;
Hosanna in the high­est!
Yet You shed Your blood to set me free.
Triumphant o’er death and the grave He arose.
The dis­ci­ples ere trou­bled and shook with alarm
And to fol­low the star wher­ev­er it went.

drew nigh

Saying calm­ly, It is I;
As the Christ­mas star drew nigh.
When, from the crys­tal walls ab­ove,
Thou also wilt re­vive their strength
And in the same coun­try a rest­ing place found.
Only a touch! but how won­drous and grand!
The an­gel song rang loud and high:
On Sun­day morn to Beth­any,
Wondrous love! We two one forever will be.
The stone was rolled back, and their Sav­ior was gone;
But He called out in words both as­sur­ing and sweet,
Over Beth­le­hem it took its rest;
