BETHLEHEM
An Infant very long ago
To Bethlehem was given.
Around his head was seen to glow
His memory of Heaven.
While cradled in a manger there,
He heard the oxen sighing
Because they knew not how to share
His Mother's lullabying.

Our hearts must go to Bethlehem
With joy on Christmas morning,
And take the fair and sweet in them
To Him for his adorning.
We all should give without pretence
A gift of such behaviour
As breathes alone the frankincense
Accepted by our Saviour.
