Here, Lord, we of-fer Thee all that is fair- est, Bloom from the garden,and flow'rs from the field;

Gifts for the stricken ones,knowing Thou carest More for the love than the wealth that we yield.

2 Send, Lord, by these to the sick and the dying, [peace. Speak to their hearts with a message of Comfort the sad, who in weakness are lying, Grant the departing a gentle release.

915

THINE are all the gifts, O God!
Thine the broken bread;

Let the naked feet be shod,

And the starving fed.

2 Let Thy children, by Thy grace, Give as they abound,

Till the poor have breathing-space, And the lost are found.

3 Wiser than the miser's hoards
Is the giver's choice;
Sweeter than the song of birds
Is the thankful voice.

4 Welcome smiles on faces sad
As the flowers of spring;
Let the tender hearts be glad
With the joy they bring.
John Greenleaf Whittier

Once in roy al Da-vid's city Stood a low- ly cat- tle shed, Where a mother laid her Ba- by,

In a man-ger for His bed: Ma-ry was the mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child.

916

ONCE in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.

2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all,

And His shelter was a stable,

And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And, through all His wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden

In whose gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He.

4 For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day like us He grew;
He was little, weak and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew;
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.

5 And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in Heaven,

Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around.

Cecil Frances Alexander 1848

We are soldiers of the cross, Ours the old,old story; Counting all our gains as loss But the gain for glory.
