 | Verses for Christmas and the New Year |  |
[The Babe has gone!]
The Babe has gone!
He is no longer here;
Empty the manger-bed
Where first He laid His Head.
He is no longer here;
Empty the manger-bed
Where first He laid His Head.
All now are gone!
The Mother and her Son;
The angels are gone home,
Their voice of praise is dumb.
The Mother and her Son;
The angels are gone home,
Their voice of praise is dumb.
Upon His throne
Now sits the royal Son,
And joy to Bethlehem is given,—
It has become the gate of Heaven.
Now sits the royal Son,
And joy to Bethlehem is given,—
It has become the gate of Heaven.
