A Virgin did come
A virgin did come from lowliest home,
And shelter she fain in a manger would find;
For full was the inn, and no room was
within,
Save where to the stalls the mute oxen they bind.
Refrain
O how wondrous the love and the deep humility
Of Him Who
was laid in the manger for me.
That Babe was a King, mystic gifts, lo, they bring,
Sure tokens they were of some great One to be;
To Bethlehem led, Eastern sages have
sped
From afar “The Desire of all nations” to see.
Refrain
Accomplished their hope, their treasures they
ope—
Gold, frankincense, myrrh, to that Infant they brought,
Gifts costly and rare, full of meaning they were,
Though not yet unveiled were the great truths they taught.
Refrain
No tokens of state round that royal Babe wait,
Seeming least, and yet greatest, of monarchs was He;
But in
reverence low, princely Magi did bow,
As though they divined all His true dignity.
Refrain
