EN 3597 ’Twas in the Winter Cold

Luke.2.7

Versi Version 1

1

’Twas in the winter cold, when earth

Was desolate and wild,

That angels welcomed at His birth

The everlasting Child.

From realms of ever bright’ning day,

And from His throne above

He came with humankind to stay,

All lowliness and love.

2

Then in the manger the poor beast

Was present with his Lord;

Then swains and pilgrims from the East

Saw, wondered, and adored.

And I this morn would come with them

This blessed sight to see,

And to the Babe of Bethlehem

Bend low the reverent knee.

3

But I have not, it makes me sigh,

One offering in my power;

’Tis winter all with me, and I

Have neither fruit nor flower.

O God, O Brother, let me me give

My worthless self to Thee;

And that the years which I may live

May pure and spotless be.

4

Grant me Thyself, O Savior kind,

The Spirit undefiled,

That I may be in heart and mind

As gentle as a child;

That I may tread life’s arduous ways

As Thou Thyself hast trod,

And in the might of prayer and praise

Keep ever close to God.

5

Light of the everlasting morn,

Deep through my spirit shine;

There let Thy presence newly born

Make all my being Thine:

There try me as the silver, try,

And cleanse my soul with care,

Till Thou art able to descry

Thy faultless image there.
