When a poor man came in sight gathering winter fuel....... Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know'st it, telling Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling? Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' fountain Bring me flesh, and bring me wine bring me pine logs hither Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer Mark my footsteps, my good page; tread thou in them boldly Thou shalt find the winter's rage, freeze thy blood less coldly In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted Heat was in the very sod which the Saint had printed Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing Ye who will now bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing

Are met in thee tonight For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy Birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His Heaven No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in O holy child of Bethlehem Descend to us we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born in us today We hear the Christmas angels Their great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel
