A LILY OF THE FIELD

IN all his glory, Solomon
Was never so arrayed;
Yet far more beautiful is one—
A MOTHER and a MAID—
Whose loveliness and lowliness
God stooped from highest heaven to bless.

THE LAMB-CHILD

WHEN Christ the Babe was born,
Full many a little lamb,
Upon the wintry hills forlorn,
Was nestled near its dam;
And, waking or asleep,
Upon His mother's breast,
For love of her, each mother-sheep
And baby-lamb He blessed.
