Cradled in a manger
Cradled in a manger, meanly,
Laid the Son of Man His head;
Sleeping His first earthly slumber
Where the
oxen had been fed.
Happy were those shepherds listening
To the holy angel’s word;
Happy they within that stable
Worshipping their infant
Lord.
Happy all who hear the message
Of His coming from above;
Happier still who hail His coming,
And
with praises greet His love.
Blessèd Savior, Christ most holy,
In a manger Thou didst rest;
Canst Thou stoop again, yet lower,
And abide within my
breast?
Evil things are there before Thee;
In the heart, where they have fed,
Wilt Thou pitifully
enter,
Son of Man, and lay Thy head?
Enter, then, O Christ most holy;
Make a Christmas in my heart;
Make a heaven of my
manger:
It is heaven where Thou art.
And to those who never listened
To the message of Thy birth,
Who
have winter, but no Christmas
Bringing them Thy peace on earth,
Send to these the joyful tidings;
By all people, in each home,
Be there heard the Christmas
anthem;
Praise to God, the Christ has come!
