Shrine where the spirits of wind and wave
Find the worship and glory we
Give to the one God great and grave--

This tender Child of lowly birth,
Shall be the joy of all your earth.
Appeared a host of angels bright;
Behold the tender Babe, they said,
In yonder lowly manger laid.
That weary ones in Thee may rest;
Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth;
That we may rise to Heaven from earth.
O may I learn from thee, my God,
And love, with softest pity joined,
For those that trample on thy blood!
