Far above that stable, Up in Heaven so high, One bright star outshineth, Watching silently. 3 Fear not, then, to enter, Though we cannot bring Gold, or myrrh, or incense Fitting for a King. Gifts He asketh richer, Offerings costlier still, Yet may Christian children Bring them if they will. 4 Brighter than all jewels Shines the modest eye; Best of gifts He loveth Infant purity. Haste we, then, to welcome With a joyous lay Christ, the King of Glory, Born for us today. Tune Title: [Waken, Christian children]

Oh how I would attend! The smallest sin I then would fear If God almighty were so near, If God almighty were so near. 3 And does He never speak? Oh yes, for in His word He bids me come and seek The God that Samuel heard. And every sin I well may fear, Since God almighty is so near, Since God almighty is so near. 4 Like Samuel let me say, Whene’er I read His word, “Speak, Lord; I would obey The voice that Samuel heard;” And when I in Thy house appear, “Speak, for Thy servant waits to hear,” “Speak, for Thy servant waits to hear.” Tune Title: LENOX
