Luyện nghe bài hát Nativity

(Lee Ann Womack)

Immensity cloistered in thy womb,
Now His well-belov'd imprisonment,
There He hath made to His intent
enough, now into the world to come;
But O, for thee, for Him, hath the inn no
Yet lay Him in this stall, and the Orient,
Stars and wise men will travel to
The effect of jealous general doom.
thou, my soul, with thy faith's eyes, how He
Which fills all place, yet none holds Him, doth
Was not His pity thee wondrous high,
That would have to be pitied by thee?
Kiss Him, and with Him Egypt go,
With His mother, who partakes thy woe.

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

II
That glorious Form, Light unsufferable,
And that blaze of Majesty,
Wherewith he wont at Heav'n's 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, shall not thy sacred
Afford a present to the God?
thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,
To welcome him to his new abode,
Now while the heav'n, by the team untrod,
Hath no print of the approaching light,
And all the spangled keep watch in squadrons bright?

IV
See how from far the eastern road
The star-led wizards haste with sweet:
O run, prevent with thy humble ode,
And lay it lowly at his feet;
Have thou the first thy Lord to greet,
And join thy voice the angel quire,
From out his secret altar with hallowed fire
