But who is this so lowly laid? 'Tis he by whom the worlds were made. 2. Alas! in what poor state The Son of God is seen; Why doth the Lord so great Choose out a home so mean? That we may learn from pride to flee, And follow his humility. 3. Where Joseph plies his trade, Lo! Jesus labors too; The hands that all things made An earthly craft pursue, That weary men in him may rest, And faithful toil through him be blessed. 4. Among the doctors see The Boy so full of grace; Say, wherefore taketh he The scholar's lowly place? That Christian boys, with reverence meet, May sit and learn at Jesus' feet. 5. Christ! once thyself a boy, Our boyhood guard and guide; Be thou its light and joy, And still with abide, That thy dear love, so great and free, May draw us evermore to thee.
