Child in the Manger

Child who inherits all our transgressions, all our demerits on him fall. 2 Monarchs have tender, delicate children nourished in splendor, day by day; death soon shall banish honor and beauty; pleasure shall vanish, forms decay. 3 But the most holy Child of salvation gently and lowly lived below; now as our glorious mighty Redeemer, see him victorious o'er each foe. 4 Prophets foretold him, infant of wonder; angels beheld him on his throne; worthy our Savior of all their praises; happy forever are his own.

Blest are they who with true passion strive to make the right prevail, for the earth is God's possession and his purpose will not fail. 3 Blest are they who show their mercy to the guilty and the poor, for to them, set free from judgment, shall be opened heaven's door. Blessed, the sincere and truthful from the lie's deception free, for the God of truth and beauty they in joy will surely see. 4 Blessed are the brave and peaceful, bringing peace where'er they live, God shall own them as his children and through them his peace will give. All for love and truth who suffer in your God rejoice and sing; he, the end of all your striving, he, your Father, Lord and King.
