The King of Kings From a maiden's bosom springing, O wonder rare! 2. Wisdom"s Angel, He is come Issuing from a Virgin's womb; Sun from a Star! Sun which never doth decline, Star which evermore doth shine, Bright ever are. 3. As a Planet shoots its ray, So her Mighty Son to-day That Virgin bare. Neither Planet by its beam, Nor by Son defiled we deem That Mother fair. 4. Substance of the Higher, He Girt with human flesh to be, For us, doth bear. Lebanon's tall Cedar bends, Like to hyssop made, descends Our vale to share. 5. Song Esaias sang of old,} Song which Judah oft retold,} Yet she ne'er the truth will hold. In blindness drear. Ah! If she will not believe} Prophets, let her still receive} Oracles which sybils weave, Gentiles declare. 6. O hapless Israel! haste; } Now believe! for why abased} Should ye thus in ruin waste, Race of despair. Him! Whom Holy Writ of old} God, the Eternal Son, foretold,} In His Mother's arms, behold! Before you there! 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 # |
