He Smiles Within His Cradle – Canções de Natal – letras

He smiles within his cradle,A babe with face to brightIt beams most like a mirrorAgainst a blaze of light:This babe so burning bright.This babe we now declare to youIs Jesus Christ, our Lord;He brings both peace and heartiness:Haste, haste with one accordTo feast with Christ our Lord.And who would rock the cradleWherein this infant lies,Must rock with easy motionAnd watch with humble eyes,Like Mary pure and wise.O Jesus, dearest babe of allAnd dearest babe of mine,Thy love is great, thy limbs are smallO flood this heart of mineWith overflow from thine!
