¶ On Christ's Nativity.

MYsterious Miracle! the same should be
A Lamb, a Shepherd, and a Lion too!
Yet so was he
Whom first the Shepherds knew,
And readily became
Sheep to their Shepherd-Lamb.
Shepherd of Angels, Men; and Lamb of God,
Lion of Judah: by these Titles keep
The Wolf from all thy harmless Sheep.
Let the whole World flock to thy Fold,
Jews and Gentiles, may they all come
In multitudes not to be told,
Thy Lambs that wander bring them home.
Glory be to God on high,
Glory to the Deity.
