ear­ly

Ere the dawn was ev­en nigh,
Find dewy bless­ings there.
Christ was born.
By the purse, the pray­er, the song,
Ever hap­py, hap­py we;
Behold the beau­ty of the lawn;
Come and seek Him ear­ly,
His mind its rich­es to ex­plore,
I ear­ly will di­rect
The pri­son doors flew op­en,
Ere the dark­ness clears,
What won­drous sounds the earth shall greet,
And ear­ly learn to pray.
O tell me what the an­gels sang
For this the an­gel said—
He wept away my sins, my tears.
We will have no gods be­fore Thee;
From world­ly snares, we pray;
That voice so sweet and clear:
Brighten life’s ev­en­tide with light
