Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
I think this is my favorite verse of any Christmas hymn. Yet for some reason, when celebs sing the classic hymn they like to leave out this verse. There is so much truth packed into it! I can't help but smile as I am overwhelmed by God's great love for his people. The purpose of Christmas is the cross.
