The Love of the World


The Light of the world,

In a manger lies.

 

The Hope of the world,

In a stable cries.

 

The Peace of the world,

In a virgin's arms.

 

The Life of the world,

A man keeps from harm.

 

The King of the world,

With straw for his throne.

 

The God of the world,

In a donkey's home.

 

The Joy of the world,

An ox is his friend.

 

The Love of the world,

Is born for all men.
