| <poem>
| |
| 1. Hail, the blest morn, see the great Mediator,
| |
| Down from the region of glory descend!
| |
| Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger,
| |
| Lo, for his guard the bright angels attend.
| |
| | |
| R.: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning!
| |
| Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
| |
| Star in the east, the horizon adorning,
| |
| Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid.
| |
| | |
| 2. Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining;
| |
| low lise his bed, with the beasts of the stall;
| |
| Angels adore him, in slumbers reclining,
| |
| Wise men and shepherds before him do fall.
| |
| R.
| |
| | |
| 3. Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
| |
| Odours of Eden, and offerings divine,
| |
| Gems from the mountain, and pearls from the ocean,
| |
| Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine?
| |
| R.
| |
| | |
| 4. Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
| |
| Vainly with gold we his favour secure.
| |
| Richer by far is the heart's adoration:
| |
| Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
| |
| R.
