LESSON XII. Who is Christ, and how he appeared in the world

Jesus! how bright his glories shine! The great Emmanuel is divine. Yet he to bring salvation down Had put our mortal nature on. He in a humble virgin's womb A feeble infant did become: A stable was his logding made And the rude manger was his bed. Growing in life he still was seen, Humble, labourious, poor and mean. The Son of God, from year to year, Did as a carpenter appear.
