EN 3582 An Infant Lay Within a Shed

Luke.2.7

Versi Version 1

1

An Infant lay within a shed,

Where ox and ass were tied and fed;

Hard by there stood a maiden mild;

’Twas Mary, mother to the child.

My God, my Lord, Jesus,

’Twas He was cradled thus.

2

With voices sweet in awe to Him

There sung a choir of seraphim,

“Praise, worship, glory,” loud they cry,

“To God whose kingdom fills the sky.”

3

The herds, when they thereof heard say,

Anon with gladness went their way

To Bethlem; when they found Him there,

That noble Child, full fain they were.

4

A bright star at the self-same tide

Was by the three good kings espied:

Afar from eastern land they fare;

A goodly present each doth bear.

5

Before yon Babe, of high degree,

They kneel and pray on bended knee,

Presenting gifts with reverence,

Of gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

6

Then Herod King, in mood unmild,

Assayed to slay the royal Child;

Fell many a babe at his command,

But Christ was safe in Egypt-land.

7

When thirty years were fully past

This Infant, He was crossed at last,

Was dead, and buried tomb within,

That man eternal life might win.

8

But, on the third day, nothing else,

He rose again, as Gospel tells:

Ascended to His Father-land,

There sitteth He at God’s right hand.
