Hymns for Children, 93

Children have a right to sing
Praises to their Infant King;
Tell how Christ, the holy Child,
God and man hath reconciled.

Whom the heavens cannot contain,
Very God and very man,
God was, in His infancy.
Weak and ignorant like me.

Wherefore did He stoop so low?
Jesus, help my heart to know:
Thou who didst my flesh receive.
Unto me Thy Spirit give.

Thus explain the mystery,
Then I shall be one with Thee,
Then I shall, above the sky.
Endless hallelujahs cry.
