Make Thee Ready, as Best Thou Art Able (EN 3675)

EN 3675 Make Thee Ready, as Best Thou Art Able

Luke.2.11

Versi Version 1

1

Make thee ready, as best thou art able,

Little Bethlehem, garnish the bed,

Tho’ it be but a crib in a stable,

Where the Infant may pillow His head,

Where the Infant may pillow His head.

2

Type and shadow of yore are now ended;

Lo, the substance is come, as I ken;

Truth Incarnate to earth is descended,

God hath pitched His tent among men.

God hath pitched His tent among men.

3

He is past through the virginal portal;

The Invisible doth not decline

To be found in the fashion of mortal,

For to make human nature divine,

For to make human nature divine.

4

Wherefore Adam and Eva, forgiven

Their iniquity cry, “By the grace

And goodwill of our Lord are we shriven;

Seen of men, He doth ransom our race;

Seen of men, He doth ransom our race.”
