CHRIST IS HERE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Carol, christians! Christ is here
Last Line: Who love others, they love him.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Carol, Christians! Christ is here!
Carol for this baby dear!
This is man, but God, the more;
Sing beside the stable door!

This, our King without a crown,
In a manger is laid down,
When the maid with meekest hands,
Wrapped Him all in swathing bands.

Ages long ago He came,
Lived and died, yet is the same:
He who slain ere things were made
In this stall a Babe is laid!

Sing, good Christians! Come and sing!
Praise our Christ, and praise our King!
Gladdest night! Most happy morn!
Christ our Lord this day is born!

Sing our best, both young and old!
Never heart this time be cold!
Never eye of love be dim!
Who love others, they love Him.
