Lo! newborn Jesus Soft and weak and small, Wrapped in baby's bands By His Mother's hands, Lord God of all. Lord God of Mary, Whom His Lips caress While He rocks to rest On her milky breast In helplessness. Lord God of shepherds Flocking through the cold, Flocking through the dark To the only Ark, The only Fold. Lord God of all things Be they near or far, Be they high or low; Lord of storm and snow, Angel and star. Lord God of all men, -- My Lord and my God! Thou who lovest me, Keep me close to Thee By staff and rod. Lo! newborn Jesus Loving great and small, Love's free Sacrifice, Opening Arms and Eyes To one and all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A HYMN FOR CHRISTMAS DAY (2) by JOHN BYROM A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1) by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON CHRISTMAS CAROL by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK A CHRISTMAS CAROL by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND THREE KINGS OF ORIENT by JOHN HENRY HOPKINS JR.
