 And found with Joeph and the bleed maid Her Son the Saviour in a manger laid. Amaz’d the wond’rous tory they proclaim The firt apotles of his infant frame: While Mary keeps and ponders in her heart The heavenly viion which the wains impart

They to their flocks till praiing God return And their glad hearts within their boom burn Let us, like thee good hepherds then employ Our grateful voices, to proclaim the joy. Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind, God’s wond’rous love, in aving loft mankind

Artles and watchful, as thee favour’d wains. While virgin meeknes in the heart remains, Trace we the Babe, who has retriev’d our los From his poor manger to his bitter cros. Treading his teps, aited by his grace, Till man’s firt heav’nly ate again takes place

Then may we hope th’ angelic throne anmong To ing, redeem’d a glad triumphal ong, He that was born upon this joyful day, Around us all his glory hall diplay; Sav’d by his Love, inceant we hall ing, Of angels, and of angel-men, the King.
