That Holy Thing + 

They all were looking for a king + 

To slay their foes, and lift them high: + 

Thou cam’st a little baby thing + 

That made a woman cry. + 

O son of man, to right my lot + 

Nought but thy presence can avail; + 

Yet on the road thy wheels are not, + 

Nor on the sea thy sail! + 

My fancied ways why shouldst thou heed? + 

Thou com’st down thine own secret stair: + 

Com’st down to answer all my need, + 

Yea, every bygone prayer! + 
