Viewing Lyrics for Come Behold The Virgin Mother:

Fondly leaning on her child,
Nature shews not such
another,
Glorious, holy, meek, and mild:
Bethlehem's antient walls enclose him,
Dwelling
place of David once;
Now no friendly homesteed knows him,
Tho' the noblest of his
sons.
Many a prophecy before him
Publish'd his bright advent long,
Guardian Angels
low adore him
In a joyous heavenly song;
Eastern Sages see with wonder
His bright Star
illume the day,
O'er the volumes old they ponder,
Volumes of dark prophecy.
Royal
Bethlehem how deserted,
All his pomp and splendor lost;
Is a stable, vile and dirty,
All
the welcome you can boost?
For they travel, of inquiring
Where the wondrous babe is
born?
On they came with great desiring,
Although others treat with scorn.
See, a
babe of days and weakness
Heaven's Almighty now appears,
Liable to death and
sickness,
Shame and agony and tears.
Sovereign he and great Creator,
He who form'd the
heav'ns and earth,
Yet takes on him human nature,
Angels wonder at his birth.
Why,
ah, why this condescension,
God with mortal man to dwell?
Why lay by his grand
pretension,
He who does all thrones excell?
'Tis to be a man, a brother,
With us sinners
of mankind:
Vain we search for such another,
Ne'er we love like this shall
find.
'Tis to make himself an offering
As a pure atoning lamb,
Souls redeeming by
his suffering,
That in human flesh he came;
As a God he could not suffer,
He a body true
must have;
As a man what he might offer
Could not satisfy or save.
Tho' an infant
now you view him,
He shall fill his Father's throne, | | | |
