I SAW A STABLE by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE

First Line: I SAW A STABLE, LOW AND VERY BARE
Last Line: AND THE WORLD'S DANGER.
Subject(s): BIBLE; CHRISTMAS; JESUS CHRIST; RELIGION; NATIVITY, THE; THEOLOGY;
I SAW a stable, low and very bare,
A little child in a manger.
The oxen knew Him, had Him in their care,
To men He was a stranger.
The safety of the world was lying there,
And the world's danger.
