Let sighing cease and woe, God from on high hath heard; Heav'n's gate is opening wide, and lot The long-expected Word, Peace-through the deep of night The heavenly quire breaks forth, Singing with festal songs and bright Our God and Saviour's birth. 2. The cave of Bethlehem Those wakeful shepherds seek; Let us, too, rise and greet with them That Infant pure and meek. We enter-at the door What marvel meets the eye? A crib, a mother pale and poor, A child of poverty. 3. Art thou the eternal Son, The eternal Father's ray? Whose little hand, thou Infant one, Doth lift the world alway? Yea-faith through that dim cloud Like lightning darts before, And greets thee, at whose footstool bow'd Heav'n's trembling hosts adore. 4. Our Master-silent yet, Thou teachest from thy chair; "Shun that on which thy flesh is set; What flesh abhorreth, bear." Chaste be our love like thine, Our swelling souls bring low, And in our hearts, O Babe divine, Be born, abide, and grow. 5. So shall thy Birth-day morn, Lord Christ, our birth-day be: Then greet we all, ourselves new-born, Our King's Nativity. Borne at a Virgin's breast, Jesu, be praise to thee, With Sire and Holy Spirit blest, Through all eternity. Amen. 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 #
