TITLES OF CHRIST: MAN OF REST by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: HAIL, CHRISTMAS MORN
Last Line: FOR WE WHICH HAVE BELIEVED DO ENTER INTO REST.
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; NATIVITY, THE;
Hail, Christmas morn!
For unto us the Son is born,
The Man of Rest!
The weary quest
Is over now, for He who loves us calleth,
"Come unto Me, and I will give you rest."
The still Voice falleth
On hearts that, listening, are blest.
And daily shall that blessing flow,
And daily shall the gladness grow,
For we which have believed do enter into rest.
