“Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” — ISAIAH IX : 6.
O MOST illustrious of the days of time!
Day full of joy and benison to earth,
When Thou wast born, sweet babe of Bethlehem!
With dazzling pomp descending, angels sung
Good will and peace to men, to God due praise,
Who on the errand of salvation sent
Thee, Son Beloved! of plural Unity
Essential part, made flesh that mad'st all worlds.
Ay, well and gloriously didst Thou achieve
Thy god-like mission, both by life and death.
Light broke upon the nations; at Thy word
Roused from the sleep of ages. Truths long lost,
Man's immortality and higher life,
The unity and fatherhood of God,
The splendid verities of Christian Faith,
Ran swiftly and were glorified in every land.
Thy Universal Empire, whose sole law
Is Love, rose silently, and without violence
Freeing from old oppression. Ne'er till them
Did man know aught of Freedom, or could know.
The sensual and depraved are slaves perforce.
The free of soul, the pure, the sanctified,
Alone are free, the Freemen of the Lord, —
True King of Christendom, whose gracious sway,
None shares.
* * * * * *
One is your Master, saith our Head, even Christ,
And there results to you equality
Of brotherhood. Humility is rank;
The least is greatest and the greatest least.
