 | Verses for Christmas and the New Year |  |
[Here Peace alighted once]
Here Peace alighted once,
But could not find a home,
To Him who brought it, Earth
Could give no room.
But could not find a home,
To Him who brought it, Earth
Could give no room.
Peace in that cradle lay,
The Prince of Peace was there;
The fulness of His peace
He brought with man to share.
The Prince of Peace was there;
The fulness of His peace
He brought with man to share.
That crib all Heaven contains
Th' eternal Life there lay.
There is the open gate
And there the living way.
Th' eternal Life there lay.
There is the open gate
And there the living way.
