[Happy who the angels' word]

When they had seen it, they made known. —ii. 17.

Happy who the angels' word
Hesitate not to believe,
Who their mean almighty Lord,
God in swaddling-clothes receive!
O Thou heavenly Man Divine,
Grant me their simplicity,
Then before Thy humble shrine
All my soul shall worship Thee.
