We see Him come, and know Him ours,

Who with His sunshine and His showers

Turns all the patient ground to flowers.

The darling of the world is come,

And fit it is we find a room

To welcome Him. The nobler part

Of all the house here, is the heart,

Which we will give Him; and bequeath

This holly, and this ivy wreath,

To do Him honour; who’s our King,
