Birth of Christ · Hymn 273 · 6.6.8.6.6.8
All poor men and humble
And they came with haste and found the babe lying the manger. Luke 2:16
1.
All poor men and humble
All lame men who stumble
Come haste ye nor feel ye afraid
For Jesus, our treasure
With love past all measure
In lowly poor manger was laid
2.
Though wise men who found him
Laid rich gifts around Him
Yet oxen they gave him their hay
And Jesus in beauty
Accepted their duty
Contended in manger he lay
3.
Then haste we to show him
The praises we owe him
Our service he ne’er can despise
Whose love still is able
To show us that stable
Where softly in manger he lies.
Amen
