If He’s not born in thee,
Unto us a son is giv’n!
Their true An­oint­ed One.
But rest you well, good Christ­ian men,
Grace giv­ing Christ­mas time has come!
I wan­dered sore dis­tressed,
King of all cre­ation:
Life of want and death of scorn—
Remember the time when our Sav­iour was born,
And that, be­yond my need, is room
Found in like­ness as a man,
All glo­ry be to God on high,
The hopes that have cheered will for­sake you,
For in the same coun­try child Je­sus was born.
And where shall the Sav­ior rest?
Made mo­ther by high Heav­en’s might.
Subduing our spir­it’s com­mo­tion
Who, in these lat­ter days, art born
By God’s great love sent from ab­ove
Long they mourned their ab­sent mas­ter;

for­lorn

O would thy heart but be
He in­ter­cedes with ang­ry Heav’n.
Thy glo­ri­ous arm dis­play;
December’s dark­ness brings again
Christ to save was born,
I had no place to rest,
Lord of ev­ery na­tion.
Ergo be­ne­di­ci­te.
His birth­place no more than where ox­en did lie,
I thank Thee much for place to rest,
Therefore God ex­alt­ed Christ
Peace be on earth, good will to men,
Then look to the Sav­ior for mer­cy,
O poor feet that fal­ter and halt by the way,
For the bu­sy inn doth cru­el­ly scorn
Entering, they hail their prince new born.
O come as the heart search­ing fire,
Our hearts en­light­en from abo­ve,
O won­drous birth! let all the earth
Bid the sea­sons fly still fast­er,
