$ lm $ m STRANGER—yet the Heir;' Unnoticed—yet the King; | The lowly, peaceful manger His, | The wise their homage bring. Earth raised no .shout of joy; yiL His own no welcome gave; sg9 The world could only these bestow— A manger/then a grave. ’Twas “grace and truth” He brought, No meretricious glare— A glory veiled, a patient love, To suffer and to bear.
The heart of God to show ' A grace before unknown; To raisa the beggar from the dust And seat him on His throne. Incarnate Love revealed, Earth’s fulness to restore; Thee, Wondrous Babe of Bethlehem, We worship and adore. — A lb ert M id l a n e .
