And bow at the lowly manger,' Your gifts of gold to bring? II Would you hear teh glad song of the 1 angels That chant o'er Bethlehem's plait ' And thrill to the joyous chorus Of "Peace and Good Will to Men?" HI Would your heart grow warm wit! rapture, Could you kneel by His bed o) straw, While the Angels sing "Glad Tid ings" And the shepherds stand in awe? j IV But Judea's plain is silent, And the star that shone so bright Looks down where the shepherds worshipped On the first glad Christmas night. V But today we find the Saviour, Near so near lo our door, In the guise of wistful childhood, In lite homes of the sick and poor.
