Luyện nghe bài hát Nativity

(Lee Ann Womack)

Immensity in thy dear womb,
Now leaves His imprisonment,
He hath made Himself to His intent
Weak enough, now into the world to
But O, for thee, for Him, the inn no room?
Yet lay Him in this stall, and the Orient,
Stars and wise men travel to prevent
The effect of Herod's general doom.
thou, my soul, with thy faith's eyes, how He
Which fills all place, yet none Him, doth lie?
Was not His pity thee wondrous high,
That would have to be pitied by thee?
Kiss Him, and with Him into go,
His kind mother, who partakes thy woe.

On the Morning of Christ's
This is the month, and the happy morn
the Son of Heav'n's eternal King,
Of wedded Maid, and Mother born,
Our great redemption from did bring;
For so the sages once did sing,
he our deadly forfeit should release,
And with his Father work us a peace.

II
That glorious Form, Light unsufferable,
And far-beaming blaze of Majesty,
he wont at Heav'n's high council-table,
To sit the midst of Unity,
He laid aside, and with us to be,
the courts of everlasting day,
And chose us a darksome house of mortal clay.

III
Say Heav'nly Muse, not thy sacred vein
Afford a present to the God?
thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,
To him to this his new abode,
Now while the heav'n, by the team untrod,
Hath no print of the approaching light,
And all the host keep watch in squadrons bright?

IV
See how from far the eastern road
The star-led wizards with odours sweet:
O run, prevent them thy humble ode,
And lay it at his blessed feet;
Have thou the honour first thy to greet,
And join thy unto the angel quire,
From out his secret touched with hallowed fire
