Dost thou in a manger lie
Author: Jean Mauburn, 1460-1503; Elizabeth Rundle Charles, 1828-1896 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.4.7.7.5 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:6-7 Lyrics: 1 Dost thou in a manger lie,
who hast all created,
stretching infant hands on high,
Saviour, long awaited?
If a monarch, where thy state,
where thy court on thee to wait,
scepter, crown and sphere?
Here no regal pomp we see,
naught but need and penury:
why thus cradled here?
2 'For the world a love supreme
brought me to this stable;
all creation to redeem
I alone am able.
By this lowly birth of mine,
sinner, riches shall be thine,
matchless gifts and free;
willingly this yoke I take,
and this sacrifice I make,
heaping joys for thee.'
3 Christ we praise with voices bold,
laud and honour raising;
for these mercies manifold
join the hosts in praising:
Father, glory be to thee
for the wondrous charity
of thy Son, our Lord.
Better witness to thy worth,
purer praise than ours on earth.

Her Virgin eyes saw God incarnate born
Author: Thomas Ken Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:4-7 Lyrics: 1 Her Virgin eyes saw God incarnate born,
when she to Bethlem came that happy morn:
how high her raptures then began to swell,
none but her own omniscient Son can tell.
2 As Eve, when she her fontal sin reviewed,
wept for herself and all she should include,
blest Mary, with man's Saviour in embrace,
joyed for herself and for all human race.
3 All saints are by her Son's dear influence blest;
she kept the very fountain at her breast:
the Son adored and nursed by the sweet Maid
a thousandfold of love for love repaid.
4 Heaven with transcendent joys her entrance graced,
near to his throne her Son his Mother placed;
and here below, now she's of heaven possest,
all generations are to call her blest. Topics: Blessed Virgin Mary Used With Tune: FARLEY CASTLE
