Then He Who ne'er before was human Was born in Bethlehem of woman, When nips the frost the verdant sod. 2. This richest Babe comes poor in being, More pearled within than to the seeing With diadem and royal power; He takes no heed of greater places, But that small spot alone embraces, Where light illumes the midnight hour. 3. This Prince, do they desire to find Him? They're worn out swaddling clothes that bind Him. A manger, spread with hay's His bed. His throne is higher than the highest, Yet He among the cattle lieth; What Him to such a lot has led? 4. Now seeks He God with chaste affection Who takes before such crib direction, Are better than this Bethlehem, Which Christ no resting place shall give; For they, the after life, shall live With Him, in Jerusalem. 5. And as they bring this child before them Luyck comes and marries Isendoorn, Standing before this Christ-like crib; And finds when her consent is shewn, Flesh of his flesh, bone of his bone, For Judith is his second rib.
