Explore "A Christmas Prayer" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Loving looks the large-eyed cow, / Loving stares the long-eared ass / At Heaven's glory in the grass!
Child, with added human birth / Come to bring the child of earth / Glad repentance, tearful mirth, / And a seat beside the hearth / At the Father's knee -- / Make us peaceful as thy cow; / Make us patient as thine ass; / Make us quiet as thou art now; / Make us strong as thou wilt be.
Make us always know and see / We are his as well as thou.
