"of the Birth of Christ"
by St. John of the Cross

When the interval of waiting
For His birth it's course had run,
Straight from out His bridal chamber
Came the bridegroom, God the Son.

Once on earth, with arms extended
He embrac'd His heavenly bride,
And the gracious Mother laid Him
In the manger, at her side.

All around that helpless baby
Animals were standing by;
Men sang of glad rejoicing;
Angels join'd their songs on high,

Celebrating the betrothal
'Twixt the bridegroom and the bride,
While the Almighty, in the manger,
As infant, wept and cried.

So the bride those tears as jewels
brought to the betrothal-rite,
And the maid was lost in wonder
As she saw so rare a sight

Man was full of joy and gladness;
God was shedding tears as man.
Ne'er was such a strange mutation
since the ages began.
