Christmas Day.

If gaily clothed and proudly fed

In dangerous wealth we dwell; Remind us of Thy manger bed And lowly cottage cell!

If prest by poverty severe, In envious want we pine,

Oh may the Spirit whisper near, How poor a lot was Thine!

Through fickle fortune's various scene From sin preserve us free!

Like us Thou hast a mourner been, May we rejoice with Thee!
