- Carols.Second Song For Christmas1st.
Christmas Day is come let us prepare for mirth
Which fills the heavens and earth at his amazing birth.
Though both the Joyous angels in strife and hurry fly
With glory and Hosannas Holy Holy the cry
In heaven the church triumphant adores with all her choirs
The militant on earth with humbly faith admires2nd.
But why should we rejoice
Should not we rather mourn,
To see the hope of nations thus in a stable born
Where in his crown and sceptre where is His throne sublime
Where is his train and majesty that should the stars outshine
Is there no sumtious palace nor no in atall,
To lodge his heavenly mother but in a filthy stall.(continues on next page)
