In a stable lies the Holy, In a manger rests the King. See in Mary's arms reposing, Christ, by highest heaven adored; Come, your circle round him closing, Pious hearts that love the Lord. 2 Come, ye poor; no pomp of station Robes the Child your hearts adore. He, the Lord of all creation, Shares your want, is weak and poor. Oxen, round about behold them, Rafters naked, cold and bare; See the shepherds, God has told them, That the Lord of life lies there. 3 Come, ye children blithe and merry, This one Child your model make; Christmas holly, leaf and berry, All be prized for his dear sake. Come, ye gentle hearts and tender, Come, ye spirits keen and bold; All in all your homage render, Weak and mighty, young and old. 4 High above a star is shining, And the wise men haste from far. Come, glad hearts and spirits pining; 'Tis for you has risen the star. Let us bring our poor oblations, Thanks and love and faith and praise; Come, ye peoples, come ye nations, All in all your homage raise.

Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet him And the hills bow down to greet him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits his holy reign.

O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with thee The silence of eternity Interpreted by love. 4 Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease: Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. *Creator of all humankind Topics: Discipleship; Eternity; God's voice (or call); Listening; Love; Peace; Purity; Quaker author; Quietness; Service; Silence; Trust Tune Title: REST
