Laudation to His Holy name,

LduQaLlOn TO dis dOly uaWe,
And to His lowly birth
Not that He came in splendor-lame,
Nor like a king Of earth;
hot that the banners waved on high,
The cymbals clashed His praise;
But that alone the starry sky
Led to His humble dais!
Laudation to His purpose mild,
Who came not unto men
Except as, comes a little child
With far, wide-wandering ken;
Who came not panoplied in gold,
With sword and shield of might.
But in His mothers sweet enfold-
A rose-bloom of the night!
Laudation to His deathless soul,
Not that he ruled, as king;
But that Gods arm around him stole
As soft as angels wing.
Not that the thunder of His tread
Shook cities to their DOOM. (,
But that beneath His feet the dead
We're touched to deathless bloom!
Not for the c%onqueror's mail-clad hand
Nor for the victor's sword;
Not for the chieftain of a band,
A wild, world-sundering horde;
Lift the hosanna Of the years,
Utter the golden song,
For this, the foeman of our tears
And for all human wrong!
Aye, for a life that came to lead
All life toward the sun;
And for a heart that came to bleed
For tasks that love had done;
A life that gave that gifts might bless
All sweets of life; to be-
This brother of the brotherless-
Dear friend to you and me!
Laudation to His holy name!
Through all the ages cry
The exaltation of His fame
Unto the Christmas sky
Not that he rose as princes rise,
Unto life's feeting power;
But that beneath warm mother-eyes
BE bloomed as blooms a fowerl
