O, to have dwelt in Bethlehem
When the star of the Lord shone bright!
To have sheltered the Holy wanderers
on that blessed Christmas night;
Tho have kissed the tender way worn feet
Of the Mother undefiled,
And with reverent wonder and deep delight,
To have tended the Holy Child!
Hush! such a glory was not for Thee;
But that care may still be Thine;
For are there not little ones still to aide
For the sake of the Child divine?
Are there no wandering pilgrims now
To thy heart and thy home to take?
And are there no mothers whose weary hearts
You can comfort for Mary's sake?
