THE HOLY BABE
Within the town of David born, And in a stable old and worn, Tho Holy Babe in a manger lay, Long, long before the break of day. The faithful shepherds through the night, Watched o'er their flocks by cold starlight. An Angel from on High winged down 'Mid heavenly music w'afting round. On mighty flaming wheels of ligHt, On azured wings of Love the bright Pure Agncls came from iijeaven above, With songs of Joy, and Peace, and Love. Great Eastern Sages from afar, Followed the lighting of a Star, Which brought them to that hallowed bed Where Mary laid His Holy Head—"'We welcome Thee to earth dear Babe • For Thou hast come the world to save From sin, and pain, and war, and strife And lead man back to Peace and Life." J. Manuel Kitto. Ist December, 1944.
