He Smiles Within His Cradle Songtext
Songtext powered by LyricFind
He smiles within his cradle,
A babe with face to bright
It beams most like a mirror
Against a blaze of light:
This babe so burning bright.
This babe we now declare to you
Is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
He brings both peace and heartiness:
Haste, haste with one accord
And who would rock the cradle
Wherein this infant lies,
Must rock with easy motion
And watch with humble eyes,
Like Mary pure and wise.
O Jesus, dearest babe of all
And dearest babe of mine,
Thy love is great, thy limbs are small
O flood this heart of mine
With overflow from thine!
To feast with Christ our Lord.
A babe with face to bright
It beams most like a mirror
Against a blaze of light:
This babe so burning bright.
This babe we now declare to you
Is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
He brings both peace and heartiness:
Haste, haste with one accord
And who would rock the cradle
Wherein this infant lies,
Must rock with easy motion
And watch with humble eyes,
Like Mary pure and wise.
O Jesus, dearest babe of all
And dearest babe of mine,
Thy love is great, thy limbs are small
O flood this heart of mine
With overflow from thine!
