Religion

Hail, Christmas morn!

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From Christmas Verses

Religion

Hail, Christmas morn !
For unto us the Son is born,
The Man of Rest !
The weary quest
Is over now, for He who cometh, calleth,
'Come unto Me, and I will give you rest I'
The still voice falleth
On hearts that, listening, are blessed.

And daily shall the blessing flow,
And daily shall the gladness grow,
For we which have believed do enter into rest
