But little Lord Jesus. no crying He makes.

A Christmas Hymn.

No tramp Of marching armies.
No banners flaming far:
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky Star.
Their hymns OF peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought.
Their Gloria in Excelsis
To earth the angels taught;
When in the lowly nianger
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe OF heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness,
And none as poor as he.
The little children OF the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush OF hostile armies then.
But Just the budding sheep.
The angels singing OF the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame OF conquering banners,
No legions sent afar:
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky Star
