In Anticipation of Christmas Eve . . .

Lead me to Thy peaceful manger,
Wound'rous Babe of Bethlehem;
Shepherds hail Thee, yet a stranger;
Let me worship Thee with them,
I am vile, but Thou art holy;
Oh, unite my heart to Thee;
Make me contrite, keep me lowly,
Pure as Thou wouldst have me be.

M. Bridges: Lead me to Thy Peaceful manager (19th century)
