O dying souls; behold your living spring!
O dazzled eyes! behold your Sun of grace!
Dull ears attend what word this Word doth bring!
Up, heavy hearts, with joy your Joy embrace!
From death, from dark, from deafness, from despairs,
This Life, this Light, this Word, this Joy repairs.
Bl. Robert Southwell: The Nativity of Christ. (16th Century)
