1. Where is this stupendeous stranger? | |||
Prophets, shepherds, kings, advise. | |||
Lead me to my Master's manger, | |||
Show me where my Savior lies. | |||
2. O Most Mighty, O Most Holy, | |||
Far beyond the seraph's thought | |||
Art thou then so mean and lowly | |||
As unheeded prophets taught? | |||
3. O the magnitude of meekness, | |||
Worth from worth immortal sprung, | |||
O the strength of infant weakness, | |||
if eternal is so young! | |||
4. God all-bounteous, all-creative, | |||
Whom no ills from good dissuade, | |||
is incarnate and a native | |||
of the very world he made. | |||

1. Where is this stupendeous stranger?
Prophets, shepherds, kings, advise.
Lead me to my Master's manger,
Show me where my Savior lies.
2. O Most Mighty, O Most Holy,
Far beyond the seraph's thought
Art thou then so mean and lowly
As unheeded prophets taught?
3. O the magnitude of meekness,
Worth from worth immortal sprung,
O the strength of infant weakness,
if eternal is so young!
4. God all-bounteous, all-creative,
Whom no ills from good dissuade,
is incarnate and a native
of the very world he made.
