Matthew 2:11: They saw the young Child, and fell down, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Hail, holy, heaven-descended Child,
Who God and man hast reconciled.
Whom angels bow before!
Whate'er I have of good to give.
To Thee, from whom I first receive,
I thankfully restore.
To Thee my heart I open wide.
The myrrh of passions mortified.
The gold of charity,
The incense sweet of humble prayer,
Jesus, Thy prostrate worshipper,
I now present to Thee.
