The Lord of Hosts hath walked This world of man; the one Almighty sent His everlasting Son to wear the flesh, And glorify this mortal human shape; And the blind eyes unclosed to see the Lord, And the dumb tongues broke out in songs of praise, And the grave cast forth its wondering dead, And trembling devils murmured sullen homage.
