Monarch's Monarch., From a holy maiden spring, Mighty Wonder! 2. Angel of the counsel here, Sun from star, he doth appear, Born of maiden: He a sun who knows no night, She a star whose paler light Fadeth never. 3. As a star its kindred ray, Mary doth her Child display, Like in nature; Still undimmed he star shines on, And the maiden bears a Son, Pure as ever. 4. Lebanon his cedar tall To the hyssop on the wall Lowly bendeth; From the highest, him we name Word of God, to human frame Now descendeth. 5. Yet the synagogue denied What Isaiah had descried: Blindness fell upon the guide, Proud, unheeding. If her prophets speak in vain, Let her heed a gentile strain, And, from mystic Sybil, gain Light and leading. 6. No longer then delay, Hear what the scriptures say, Why be cast away A race forlorn? Turn and this Child behold, That very Son, of old In God's writ foretold, A maid hath borne. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
