His temple how divinely fair! 4 Come the great day, the glorious hour, When earth shall feel his saving power, And barbarous nations fear his name; Then shall the race of man confess The beauty of his holiness, And in his courts his grace proclaim.

Let none his weakness scorn; The feeblest heart shall hell subdue, Where Jesus Christ is born.] 4 No pomp adorns, no sweets perfume The place where Christ is laid; A stable serves him for his room, A manger is his bed. 5 The crowded inn, like sinners’ hearts, (O ignorance extreme!) For other guests, of various sorts, Had room; but none for him. 6 But see what different thoughts arise In our and angels’ breasts; To hail his birth they left the skies, We lodged him with the beasts! 7 Yet let believers cease their fears, Nor envy heavenly powers; If sinless innocence be theirs, Redemption all is ours.
