HYMN: CHRISTMAS DAY, by REGINALD HEBER Poet's Biography First Line: Oh saviour, whom this holy morn Last Line: May we rejoice with thee! Subject(s): Christmas; Nativity, The | ||||||||
OH Saviour, whom this holy morn Gave to our world below; To mortal want and labour born, And more than mortal woe! Incarnate Word! by every grief, By each temptation tried, Who lived to yield our ills relief, And to redeem us died! 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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DIFFERENT VIEWS; A CHRISMAS DUET by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY AN UNMERRY CHRISTMAS by AMBROSE BIERCE CHRISTMAS IN CHINATOWN by AUGUST KLEINZAHLER CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS ISAIAH'S COAL by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
