O CHRIST of God! whose life and death Our own have reconciled, Most quietly, most tenderly Take home thy star-named child! Thy grace is in her patient eyes, Thy words are on her tongue; The very silence round her seems As if the angels sung. Her smile is as a listening child`s Who hears its mother`s call; The lilies of Thy perfect peace About her pillow fall. She leans from out our clinging arms To rest herself in Thine; Alone to Thee, dear Lord, can we Our well-beloved resign. O, less for her than for ourselves We bow our heads and pray; Her setting star, like Bethlehem`s, To Thee shall point the way!SourceThe script ran 0.002 seconds.
