God so loved the world
—I read it.
And the tears in silence flow
O’er that love’s sublime revealing.
O’er the Babe in manger low.
Whosoever that believeth
—
Surely this is meant for me,
And I clasp the fond assurance
With a thrill of ecstasy!
Should not perish
—O how precious!
Everlasting life
is mine!
Christ, I bow in fervent worship
With the wise men at Thy shrine.
More than gold, myrrh, or frankincense,
More to Thee the gift I bring.
Love the tenderest and purest.
Love that e’er Thy praise will sing.
Eliza Amelia Brooks Mitchell
