The darkest midnight in December
No snow no hail nor winter storm
Shall hinder us to remember
The babe that on this night was born
'Twas but pure love that from above
Brought him to save us from all harms
So let us sing and welcome
Him
The God of
Love in Mary's arms
No earthly gifts can we present
Him
No gold nor myrrh nor odours sweet
But if with hearts we can content
Him
We humbly lay them at his feet
With shepherds we are come to see
This lovely Infants glorious charms
Born of a maid as prophets said
The God of love in Mary's arms
