Men overlooked a baby's birth
When love unnoticed came to earth;
And later, seeking in the skies,
Passed by a man in workman's guise,
Only children passed to stare,
While God Incarnate made a chair.
~Mary Tatlow
Come, Thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free;
From our sins and fears release us;
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Amen!
~Charles Wesley (1744)
