To know from whence the Dove-Wind’s sent—
passing…                   
                   gone!—
Is to know where He went.
“So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Children of the heav’nly Fa­ther
Safely in His bo­som ga­ther;
Nestling bird nor star in Heav­en
Such a re­fuge e’er was giv­en!

God His own doth tend and nour­ish;
In His ho­ly courts they flour­ish.
From all ev­il things He spares them,
In His migh­ty arms He bears them.

Once in roy­al Dav­id’s ci­ty
Stood a low­ly cat­tle shed,
Where a mo­ther laid her ba­by
In a man­ger for His bed:

Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a sta­ble,
And His cra­dle was a stall;
With the poor, and mean, and low­ly,
Lived on earth our Sav­ior ho­ly.

And, through all His wondrous child­hood,
He would hon­or and ob­ey, [continue reading…]

Who died to save us all.

We may not know, we cannot tell
What pains He had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffer’d there.

He died that we might be forgiven;
He died to make [continue reading…]
