help me cradle the child divine;

He came among us at Christmas-time,
at Christmastide, in Bethlehem;
let us bring him from far and wide
Love’s diadem:
Jesus, Jesus,
lo, he comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
2 Gladly, dear one, lady mine,
help I cradle this child of thine;
God’s own light on us both shall shine
in paradise,
as prays the mother Mary. [Refrain]

wise and happy their souls shall be,
loving such a divinity,
as all may see
in Jesus, Son of Mary. [Refrain] Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ Christ's Birth and Baptism Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: JOSEPH LIEBER, JOSEPH MEIN
