In Bethlehem the Infant lies,

Within a place obscure;

O little Bethlehem, poor in walls

But rich in furniture!

One of his best hymns, perhaps the very best, is

A GENERAL SONG OF PRAISE TO ALMIGHTY GOD

How shall I sing that Majesty

Which angels do admire?

Let dust in dust and silence lie:

Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.
