 When the men had heard the greeting,

As the angels went away,

Each began with bosom beating,

To his neighbour thus to say;

"Let us seek the lowly dwelling,

Where amid the lowing beasts,

As we heard the angels telling,

The of the world now rests.



The morning star hath risen high,

, listen to our supliant cry;

And keep us ever day by day,

From such as seek our soul to slay.

Preserve in meekness,, our tongue,

Lest it should utter aught of wrong;

Restrain and guard our wandering sight,

Lest aught of vanity delight.
