The joy­ous child­ren shout;
Unto the wild waves: Be still!
Speak! and temp­ta­tion’s fierc­est blast
Was nev­er heard in strife.
So clear I see that things I thought
Go, armed with truth and filled with love,
Jesus came a lit­tle child,
Against this ho­ly home
All dark ev­ils own His pow­er,
Nothing be­tween, like world­ly plea­sure;
God, ev­er watch­ful, ev­er nigh,
Thine, and on­ly Thine I’d be,
O to be like Thee! low­ly in spir­it,
There, in the man­ger, they saw the Child,
From all cor­rupt­ion free,
Old friends we meet, old friends we meet;
God with us, His won­drous name;
Old friends we meet, old friends we meet;
On this calm, peace­ful morn!
He can the rage of li­ons tame,

harm­less

The good old year goes out;
Becalmed by the Mas­ter’s will.
Speak! and temp­ta­tion’s fierc­est blast
On earth Thou went alone;
So clear I see that I have sought,
In wis­dom and with burn­ing zeal,
Came to reign o’er all the earth
And Sa­tan’s an­gels fierce­ly come
Distant, see our home is shin­ing,
Must not my heart from Him ev­er sev­er;
His ear­ly care each foe with­stands,
Jesus Christ’s obe­di­ent child.
Meekly en­dur­ing cru­el re­proach­es,
Come! Let us seek Him who came to earth;
Could no cor­rupt­ion see.
Without a care, with hearts so light,
Yet or­dained to death and shame.
Without a care, with hearts so light,
Can soothe his breast with com­fort mild;
Yet we too oft­en shrink
