- (continued from previous page)The God of love in Mary's arms.
(II)
No earthly gifts can we present him
No gold nor myrrh nor odours sweet
But if with hearts we can content him
We humbly lay them at his feet.
Twas but pure love from above
Brought him to save us from all harm.
So let us sing and welcome him
The God of love in Mary's arms.Four Thousand years from creation. (III)
The world lay groaning under sin
No one could ever expect salvation
No one could ever enter heaven.
T'was Adam's fall had damned us all
To hell to endless pains forlorn
Twas so decreed we'd ne'r be freed
Had not his heavenly babe been born.(continues on next page)
